Andreas Arnez b744723f57 Show line numbers in output for "info var/func/type"
The GDB commands "info variables", "info functions", and "info types" show
the appropriate list of definitions matching the given pattern.  They also
group them by source files.  But no line numbers within these source files
are shown.

The line number information is particularly useful to the user when a
simple "grep" doesn't readily point to a definition.  This is often the
case when the definition involves a macro, occurs within a namespace, or
when the identifier appears very frequently in the source file.

This patch enriches the printout of these commands by the line numbers and
adjusts affected test cases to the changed output where necessary.  The
new output looks like this:

  (gdb) i variables
  All defined variables:

  File foo.c:
  3:	const char * const foo;
  1:	int x;

The line number is followed by a colon and a tab character, which is then
followed by the symbol definition.  If no line number is available, the
tab is printed out anyhow, so definitions line up.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* symtab.c (print_symbol_info): Precede the symbol definition by
	the line number when available.
	* NEWS: Advertise this enhancement.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Mention the fact that "info
	variables/functions/types" show source files and line numbers.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.ada/info_types.exp: Adjust expected output to the line
	numbers now printed by "info var/func/type".
	* gdb.base/completion.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.base/included.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.cp/cp-relocate.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.cp/cplusfuncs.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.cp/namespace.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp: Likewise.

		   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.
