Convert DTrace probe interface to C++ (and perform some cleanups)
This patch converts the DTrace probe
interface (gdb/dtrace-probe.[ch]) to C++, and also performs some
cleanups that were on my TODO list for a while.
The main changes were the conversion of 'struct dtrace_probe' to 'class
dtrace_probe', and a new 'class dtrace_static_probe_ops' to replace the
use of 'dtrace_probe_ops'. Both classes implement the virtual methods
exported by their parents, 'class probe' and 'class static_probe_ops',
respectively. I believe it's now a bit simpler to understand the
logic behind the dtrace-probe interface.
There are several helper functions used to parse parts of a dtrace
probe, and since they are generic and don't need to know about the
probe they're working on, I decided to leave them as simple static
functions (instead of e.g. converting them to class methods).
I've also converted a few uses of "VEC" to "std::vector", which makes
the code simpler and easier to maintain. And, as usual, some cleanups
here and there.
Even though I'm sending a series of patches, they need to be tested
and committed as a single unit, because of inter-dependencies. But it
should be easier to review in separate logical units.
I wasn't able to test these modifications because the current test
framework for DTrace probes is not working. See
