Use watchpoint's language when re-parsing expression
PR rust/21484 notes that watch -location does not work with Rust: (gdb) watch -location a syntax error in expression, near `) 0x00007fffffffe0f4'. update_watchpoint tries to tell gdb that the new expression it creates has C syntax: /* The above expression is in C. */ b->language = language_c; However, update_watchpoint doesn't actually use this language when re-parsing the expression. Originally I was going to fix this by saving and restoring the language in update_watchpoint, but this regressed gdb.dlang/watch-loc.exp, because the constructed expression actually has D syntax (specifically the name is not parseable by C). Next I looked at directly constructing an expression, and not relying on the parser at all; but it seemed to me that upon a re-set, we'd want to reparse the type, and there is no existing API to do this correctly. So, in the end I made a hook to let each language choose what expression to use. I made all the languages other than Rust use the C expression, because that is the status quo ante. However, this is probably not truly correct. After this patch, at least, it is easy to correct by someone who knows the language(s) in question. Regtested by the buildbot.
