There are multiple definitions of the private_thread_info structure
compiled in the same GDB build. Because of the one definition rule, we
need to change this if we want to be able to make them non-POD (e.g. use
std::vector fields). This patch creates a class hierarchy, with
private_thread_info being an abstract base class, and all the specific
implementations inheriting from it.
In order to poison XNEW/xfree for non-POD types, it is also needed to
get rid of the xfree in thread_info::~thread_info, which operates on an
opaque type. This is replaced by thread_info::priv now being a
unique_ptr, which calls the destructor of the private_thread_info
subclass when the thread is being destroyed.
Including gdbthread.h from darwin-nat.h gave these errors:
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbthread.h:609:3: error: must use 'class' tag to refer to type 'thread_info' in this scope
thread_info *m_thread;
^
class
/usr/include/mach/thread_act.h:240:15: note: class 'thread_info' is hidden by a non-type declaration of 'thread_info' here
kern_return_t thread_info
^
It turns out that there is a thread_info function in the Darwin/XNU/mach API:
http://web.mit.edu/darwin/src/modules/xnu/osfmk/man/thread_info.html
Therefore, I had to add the class keyword at a couple of places in gdbthread.h,
I don't really see a way around it.

There are currently multiple definitions of private_inferior, defined in
remote.c and darwin-nat.h. The patch that poisons XNEW and friends for
non-POD types trips on that, because private_inferior is freed in
~inferior(), where it is an opaque type. Since the compiler can't tell
whether the type is POD, it gives an error. Also, we can't start using
C++ features in these structures (make them non-POD) as long as there
are multiple definitions with the same name. For these reasons, this
patch makes a class hierarchy, with private_inferior being the abstract
base class, and darwin_inferior & remote_inferior inheriting from it.
Destruction is done through the virtual destructor.
I stumbled on some suspicious code in the darwin implementation though.
darwin_check_new_threads does an XCNEW(darwin_thread_t) when it finds a
new thread, allocating a new structure for it (darwin_thread_t is a
typedef for private_thread_info). It then VEC_safe_pushes it in a
vector defined as DEF_VEC_O (a vector of objects). This means that the
structure content gets copied in the vector. The thread_info object is
created with the XCNEW'ed structure as the private thread info, while
the rest of the code works with the instance in the vector. We have
therefore two distinct instances of darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info
for each thread. This is not really a problem in practice, because
thread_info::priv is not used in the darwin code. I still find it weird
and far from ideal, so I tried to fix it by changing the vector to be a
vector of pointers. There should now be a single instance of the
structure for each thread. The deallocation of the
darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info structure is done by the thread_info
destructor.
I am able to build on macOS, but not really test, since the port seems a
bit broken. I am not able to debug reliably on the machine I have
access to, which runs macOS 10.12.6.
