Ulrich Weigand e765b44c38 Refactor ppc64 function call and return value handling
This patch refactors the ppc64 function call and return value handling code
in ppc-sysv-tdep.c.  The main problem to be addressed by this refactoring
is the code duplication caused by certain aggregate types:

According to the ABI, some types are to be decomposed into component types
for parameter and return value handling.  For example, complex types are
to be passed as if the real and imaginary component were separate arguments.
Similarly, certain OpenCL vector types are passed as if they were multiple
separate arguments of the vector element type.  With the new ELFv2 ABI,
there is another case: "homogeneous aggregates" (e.g. a struct containing
4 floats) are passed in multiple floating point registers as well.

Unfortunately, the current code is not structured to easily model these
ABI properties.  For example, code to pass complex values re-implements
code to pass the underlying (floating-point) type.  This has already
led to some unfortunate code duplication, and with the addition of
ELFv2 ABI support, I would have had to add yet more such duplication.

To avoid that, I've decided to refactor the code in order to re-use
subroutines that handle the "base" types when handling those aggregate
types.  This was not intended to cause any difference on current
(ELFv1) ABI code, but in fact it fixes a bug:

FAIL: gdb.base/varargs.exp: print find_max_float_real(4, fc1, fc2, fc3, fc4)

This was caused by the old code in ppc64_sysv_abi_push_float incorrectly
handling floating-point arguments to vararg routines, which just happens
to work out correctly automatically in the refactored code ...

gdb/ChangeLog:

		   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.
