Andrew Burgess 9a9a760829 Improve MI -var-info-path-expression for nested struct/union case.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-05/msg00383.html

The MI command -var-info-path-expression currently does not handle
non-anonymous structs / unions nested within other structs / unions,
it will skip parts of the expression.  Consider this example:

  ## START EXAMPLE ##
  $ cat ex.c
  #include <string.h>

  int
  main ()
  {
    struct s1
    {
      int a;
    };

    struct ss
    {
      struct s1 x;
    };

    struct ss an_ss;
    memset (&an_ss, 0, sizeof (an_ss));
    return 0;
  }
  $ gcc -g -o ex.x ex.c
  $ gdb ex.x
  (gdb) break 18
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /home/user/ex.x

  Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18
  18	  return 0;
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-create an_ss * an_ss"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss"
  ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x"
  ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a"
  ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
  ^done,path_expr="(an_ss).a"
  (gdb) print (an_ss).a
  There is no member named a.
  ## END EXAMPLE ##

Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result
the print command fails.

This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called
is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding
the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is
extended to handle the nested cases.  No other language currently uses
this code, so all other languages just get a default method.

With this patch, the above example now finishes like this:

  ## START EXAMPLE ##
  $ gdb ex.x
  (gdb) break 18
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483ba: file ex.c, line 18.
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /home/user/ex.x

  Breakpoint 1, main () at ex.c:18
  18	  return 0;
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss"
  ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x",exp="x",numchild="1",type="struct s1",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x"
  ^done,numchild="1",children=[child={name="an_ss.x.a",exp="a",numchild="0",type="int",thread-id="1"}],has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-list-children an_ss.x.a"
  ^done,numchild="0",has_more="0"
  (gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-var-info-path-expression an_ss.x.a"
  ^done,path_expr="((an_ss).x).a"
  (gdb) print ((an_ss).x).a
  $1 = 0
  ## END EXAMPLE ##

Notice that the path expression is now correct, and the print is a
success.

		   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.
