We got a report from the linux-arm-kernel folks about getting spurious
warnings when building the kernel with binutils 2.29. See
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg599929.html
which boils down to this testcase.
$> cat /tmp/tst.s
lr .req x30
/tmp/tst.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/tst.s:1: Warning: ignoring attempt to redefine built-in register 'lr'
Instead let's treat this as a proper alias at startup time thus
avoiding the problem and treating these as proper aliases
rather than new registers. This means that attempts to redefine
the alias with the same "name" will provoke no warning and attempts
to redefine the alias to something else will provoke the above mentioned
warning.
Tested make check-gas and no regressions.
Ok to apply to trunk (and backport to 2.29 branch)?

Newer GCC versions yield colored diagnostic messages by default, which may
be useful when executing GDB interactively from a terminal. But when run
from a GDB test case, the compiler output is written into gdb.log, where
such escape sequences are usually more inhibiting than helpful to the
evaluation of test results. So this patch suppresses that.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (universal_compile_options): New caching proc.
(gdb_compile): Suppress GCC's coloring of messages.
While working on the previous patch, I noticed that BITS_IN_BYTES can be
replaced by HOST_CHAR_BIT, which is used more widely in gdb.

PR gdb/21675 points out a few regressions in scalar printing.
One type of regression is due to not carrying over the old handling of
floating point printing -- where a format like "/d" causes a floating
point number to first be cast to a signed integer. This patch restores
this behavior.
The other regression is a longstanding bug in print_octal_chars: one of
the constants was wrong. This patch fixes the constant and adds static
asserts to help catch this sort of error.

I happened to notice that add_symbol_file_command leaks "sect_opts".
This patch fixes the leak by changing sect_opts to be a std::vector.
I had to change the logic in the loop a little bit. Previously, it
was incrementing section_index after completing an entry; but this
changes it to push a new entry when the name is seen.
I believe the argument parsing here is mildly incorrect, in that
nothing checks whether the -s option actually had any arguments.
Maybe gdb can crash if "-s NAME" is given without an argument. I
didn't try to fix this in this patch, but I do have another patch I
can send later that fixes it up.
Regression tested on the buildbot.

The get_valueof procedure allows tests to conveniently make gdb evaluate
an expression an return the value as a string. However, it includes an
end-of-line character in its result. I stumbled on this when trying to
use that result as part of a regex further in a test.
You can see this for example by adding a puts in
gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp:get_members:
set members [get_valueof "" ${var} ""]
puts "<$members>"
The output is
<{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2}
>
This is because the regex in get_valueof is too greedy, the captured
portion matches anything up to the gdb_prompt, including the end of line
characters. This patch changes it to capture everything but end of line
characters.
The output of the puts becomes:
<{a = 0, b = 1, c = 2}>
I tested this by running gdb.dwarf2/implref-array.exp and
gdb.dwarf2/implref-struct.exp, the two only current users of that
procedure.
