    [gdb/exp] Fix ns var lookup when stopped at inlined fn call
   =20
    Consider test.c:
    ...
         1  namespace mod_a {
         2    int xxx =3D 10;
         3  }
         4
         5  static inline int __attribute__((always_inline))
         6  inlined () {
         7    return 0;
         8  }
         9
        10  int main () {
        11    using namespace mod_a;
        12    int res =3D inlined ();
        13    return res + xxx;
        14  }
    ...
    compiled with "g++ test.c -g".
   =20
    Trying to print variable xxx at line 12 fails:
    ...
    $ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex "p xxx"
      ...
    Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:12
    12        int res =3D inlined ();
    No symbol "xxx" in current context.
    ...
   =20
    The problem is here in function using_direct::valid_line:
    ...
          CORE_ADDR curr_pc =3D get_frame_pc (get_selected_frame (nullptr));
          symtab_and_line curr_sal =3D find_sal_for_pc (curr_pc, 0);
          return (decl_line <=3D curr_sal.line)
                 || (decl_line >=3D boundary);
    ...
    where we're trying to decide whether "using namespace mod_a" is applica=
ble.
   =20
    The decl_line is 11, as expected.
   =20
    If curr_sal.line were 12, decl_line <=3D curr_sal.line would be true, a=
nd
    using_direct::valid_line would return true.
   =20
    But instead, curr_sal.line is 7.
   =20
    This is sort of correct, the current PC maps to that line.  It's just t=
hat gdb
    steps into inlined functions in two steps, each with identical PC:
    - once stopping at the call site (line 12 in this case)
    - once stopping at the PC line (line 7 in this case)
   =20
    The function using_direct::valid_line doesn't apply this logic, and
    consequently line 7 is used for both cases.
   =20
    Fix this by using find_frame_sal instead.
   =20
    Tested on x86_64-linux.
