binutils-gdb modified for the FreeChainXenon project

This patch changes the DWARF reader to use the new symbol domains. It also adjusts many bits of associated code to adapt to this change. The non-DWARF readers are updated on a best-effort basis. This is somewhat simpler since most of them only support C and C++. I have no way to test a few of these. I went back and forth a few times on how to handle the "tag" situation. The basic problem is that C has a special namespace for tags, which is separate from the type namespace. Other languages don't do this. So, the question is, should a DW_TAG_structure_type end up in the tag domain, or the type domain, or should it be language-dependent? I settled on making it language-dependent using a thought experiment. Suppose there was a Rust compiler that only emitted nameless DW_TAG_structure_type objects, and specified all structure type names using DW_TAG_typedef. This DWARF would be correct, in that it faithfully represents the source language -- but would not work with a purely struct-domain implementation in gdb. Therefore gdb would be wrong. Now, this approach is a little tricky for C++, which uses tags but also enters a typedef for them. I notice that some other readers -- like stabsread -- actually emit a typedef symbol as well. And, I think this is a reasonable approach. It uses more memory, but it makes the internals simpler. However, DWARF never did this for whatever reason, and so in the interest of keeping the series slightly shorter, I've left some C++-specific hacks in place here. Note that this patch includes language_minimal as a language that uses tags. I did this to avoid regressing gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-tu.exp, which doesn't specify the language for a type unit. Arguably this test case is wrong. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30164 |

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.
