Johnson Sun 6e96d8a970 Disable out-of-scope watchpoints
Currently, when a local software watchpoint goes out of scope, GDB sets
the watchpoint's disposition to `delete at next stop' and then normal
stops (i.e., stop and wait for the next GDB command). When GDB normal
stops, it automatically deletes the breakpoints with their disposition
set to `delete at next stop'.

Suppose a Python script decides not to normal stop when a local
software watchpoint goes out of scope, the watchpoint will not be
automatically deleted even when its disposition is set to
`delete at next stop'.

Since GDB single-steps the program and tests the watched expression
after each instruction, not deleting the watchpoint causes the
watchpoint to be hit many more times than it should, as reported in
PR python/29603.

This was happening because the watchpoint is not deleted or disabled
when going out of scope.

This commit fixes this issue by disabling the watchpoint when going out
of scope. It also adds a test to ensure this feature isn't regressed in
the future.

Calling `breakpoint_auto_delete' on all kinds of stops (in
`fetch_inferior_event') seem to solve this issue, but is in fact
inappropriate, since `breakpoint_auto_delete' goes over all breakpoints
instead of just going through the bpstat chain (which only contains the
breakpoints that were hit right now).

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
