While fiddling a bit with -Wunused-variable, Sergio noticed that "maint
print c-tdesc" was always generating code for the "tdesc_type
*field_type" variable, even when it wasn't used. This is caught by GCC
when using -Wunused-variable, of course.
This patch changes the print_c_tdesc class to only output the field
declaration when we actually need it.
It shouldn't be necessary to do the same with the other variable
declarations (type_with_fields and element_type), because they are
always if they are declared.
The C files in features/ are regenerated, some declarations of
field_type are removed, as expected, while some others move to where
they are used for the first time.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target-descriptions.c (print_c_tdesc) <visit>: Don't output
field_type declaration, use printf_field_type_assignment
instead.

This patch makes tdesc_type an abstract base class and creates three
subclasses:
- tdesc_type_builtin, for builtin types
- tdesc_type_vector, for vector types
- tdesc_type_with_fields, for struct, union, flag and enum types
This allows getting rid of the union in tdesc_type and to not allow the
std::vector separately. I tried to go further and create separate
classes for struct, union, flag and enum, but it proved too difficult.
One problem is that from the point of the of the target description
code, the types tdesc_type_* are opaque (only forward-declared).
Therefore, it doesn't know about inheritance relationship between those
classes. This makes it impossible to make functions that accept a
pointer to a base class and pass a pointer to a derived class, for
example. I think this patch here is a good compromise, and if somebody
wants to improve things further, the door is open.
A make_gdb_type virtual pure method is added to tdesc_type, which
replaces the current tdesc_gdb_type function. Calling this method on a
tdesc_type returns the corresponding built gdb type.
