69 freeing it, using xfree.
71 We need this expand-one-token-at-a-time interface in order to
72 accomodate GDB's C expression parser, which may not consume the
73 entire string. When the user enters a command like
75 (gdb) break *func+20 if x == 5
77 the parser is expected to consume `func+20', and then stop when it
78 sees the "if". But of course, "if" appearing in a character string
79 or as part of a larger identifier doesn't count. So you pretty
80 much have to do tokenization to find the end of the string that
81 needs to be macro-expanded. Our C/C++ tokenizer isn't really
82 designed to be called by anything but the yacc parser engine. */
