functions which handle overwriting of forward-referenced types
for stabs file reading.
(lookup_{reference,pointer,function}_type): These just call
the make_*_type functions with a null storage alloc parameter.
* gdbtypes.h (make_{reference,pointer,function}_type): Declare.
* xcoffread.c (smash_to_pointer_type): Remove, no longer used.
* buildsym.c (dbx_lookup_type): Zero result for (-1,-1) arg.
(dbx_alloc_type): Make it easier to understand. No funct change.
(define_symbol: 't'): Don't put the typedef name into the name of
the struct, union, or enum. Bugfix.
(read_type: '*', '&', 'f'): Add comments. Use make_XXX_type
routines to properly handle overwriting preallocated types so that
forward references will work.
(read_enum_type): Force enum values to file scope, due to bug in
Sun compiler output. FIXME, fix later.
Remove unused header_file_prev_index mechanism. It was already
obsolete in gdb-3.5. These comments appeared in 3.5:
/* This code was used before I knew about the instance codes.
My first hypothesis is that it is not necessary now
that instance codes are handled. */
* dbxread.c (add_new_header_file): Remove header_file_prev_index.
* buildsym.h: Remove it and prev_index that saves it.
* buildsym.c (push_subfile, pop_subfile, start_symtab): Remove it.
* solib.c (special_symbol_handling): When called from core files,
must set up debug_addr. Don't print error messages, just return.
* symmisc.c (print_symbol): Less ascii diarrhea for enums, please.
basis. See comments in objfiles.h and details in ChangeLog. Also remove
redundant definitions of FRAME_CHAIN_VALID from most of the tm-* files and
use a default definition in frame.h.
Made some more progress in removing duplicate assembly opcode files.
More improvements to how mipsread and to a lesser extent dbxread work.
See the ChangeLog for details.
* utils.c: All the v*fprintf emulation is now in libiberty,
so we can get rid of some junk.
* xm-sun3os4.h, xm-sun4os4.h, xconfig/decstation, xconfig/i386sco,
xconfig/sun3os4, xconfig/sun4os4: Don`t need HAVE_STRSTR any more.
* m68k-pinsn.c (print_insn_arg): Support BB/BW/BL
type operands, as used by branch instructions.
* gmalloc.c: Fix prototype of memcpy.
* elfread.c: Comment out register_addr, since it conflicts
with the one in coredep.c.
* buildsym.h: Remove extern declarations of two functions
that are really static in buildsym.c.
* tm-mips.h: Add symbolic names for more registers.
* mips-xdep.c (store_inferior_registers): Use new register names.
* xm-mips.h: Simplify REGISTER_U_ADDR, since it is now
only used for core files, not ptrace. Therefore,
the KERNEL_U_ADDR hack is no longer needed.
The mapping to ptrace number is now in in mips-xdep.c.
* mips-xdep.c: Define REGISTER_PTRACE_ADDR (using the
mapping from the old REGISTER_U_ADDR), and use it
in {fetch,store}_inferior_registers.
* mipsread.c: Rename #include ecoff.h to new name coff-mips.h.
* mips-tdep.c (mips_push_dummy_frame, mips_pop_frame):
Save/restore FP regs correctly (?).
* dbxread.c: Remove duplicate define_symbol and type_synonym_name
(these had been previously moved to buildsym.c).
Hence, define_symbol becomes extern instead of static.
* buildsym.c (read_struct_type): Comment out bogus handling
of C++ operator methods. Minor hacking of reading of class
contexts. Make define_symbol non-static, so dbxread.c can call it.
(record_line): Record directly in a subfile. Alloc on demand.
(compare_line_numbers): Add from xcoffread.c.
(end_symtab): New params say whether to sort pendings and
linetable. Patch block stabs if defined. Shrink linetable before
allocating the symtab.
* buildsym.h: Delete line_vector* and prev_line_number. Add
global_stabs and file_stabs for xcoffread.
* dbxread.c (start_subfile): Move to buildsym. Change above calls.
* symtab.h: LINETABLE(symtab) can now be null. Zap LINELIST.
* symmisc.c, symtab.c: Cope with null LINETABLEs.
