Simon Marchi a36158ec0c gdb: make macro_stringify return a gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>
The change to macro_stringify is straightforward.  This allows removing
the manual memory management in fixup_definition.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* macroexp.h (macro_stringify): Return
	gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>.
	* macroexp.c (macro_stringify): Likewise.
	* macrotab.c (fixup_definition): Update.

macro invocation, return the result of expanding that invocation as
a null-terminated string, and set *LEXPTR to the next character

contains no further macro invocations.
Otherwise, if *LEXPTR does not start with a macro invocation,
return nullptr, and leave *LEXPTR unchanged.
Use SCOPE to find macro definitions.
If this function returns a string, the caller is responsible for
freeing it, using xfree.
We need this expand-one-token-at-a-time interface in order to
accomodate GDB's C expression parser, which may not consume the
entire string. When the user enters a command like
(gdb) break *func+20 if x == 5
the parser is expected to consume `func+20', and then stop when it
sees the "if". But of course, "if" appearing in a character string
or as part of a larger identifier doesn't count. So you pretty
much have to do tokenization to find the end of the string that
needs to be macro-expanded. Our C/C++ tokenizer isn't really
designed to be called by anything but the yacc parser engine. */
