This patch fixes C++ build errors like this:
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:1126:35: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘filterflags’ [-fpermissive]
| COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE);
^
This is a case of enums used as bit flags. Unlike "regular" enums,
these values are supposed to be or'ed together. However, in C++, the
type of "(ENUM1 | ENUM2)" is int, and you then can't assign an int to
an enum variable without a cast. That means that this:
enum foo_flags flags = 0;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG1;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG2;
... would have to be written as:
enum foo_flags flags = (enum foo_flags) 0;
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG1);
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG2);
which is ... ugly. Alternatively, we'd have to use an int for the
variable's type, which isn't ideal either.
This patch instead adds an "enum flags" class. "enum flags" are
exactly the enums where the values are bits that are meant to be ORed
together.
This allows writing code like the below, while with raw enums this
would fail to compile without casts to enum type at the assignments to
'f':
enum some_flag
{
flag_val1 = 1 << 1,
flag_val2 = 1 << 2,
flag_val3 = 1 << 3,
flag_val4 = 1 << 4,
};
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE(enum some_flag, some_flags)
some_flags f = flag_val1 | flag_val2;
f |= flag_val3;
It's also possible to assign literal zero to an enum flags variable
(meaning, no flags), dispensing either adding an awkward explicit "no
value" value to the enumeration or the cast to assignments from 0.
For example:
some_flags f = 0;
f |= flag_val3 | flag_val4;
Note that literal integers other than zero do fail to compile:
some_flags f = 1; // error
C is still supported -- DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE is just a typedef in that
case.

It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.
