functions which handle overwriting of forward-referenced types
for stabs file reading.
(lookup_{reference,pointer,function}_type): These just call
the make_*_type functions with a null storage alloc parameter.
* gdbtypes.h (make_{reference,pointer,function}_type): Declare.
* xcoffread.c (smash_to_pointer_type): Remove, no longer used.
* buildsym.c (dbx_lookup_type): Zero result for (-1,-1) arg.
(dbx_alloc_type): Make it easier to understand. No funct change.
(define_symbol: 't'): Don't put the typedef name into the name of
the struct, union, or enum. Bugfix.
(read_type: '*', '&', 'f'): Add comments. Use make_XXX_type
routines to properly handle overwriting preallocated types so that
forward references will work.
(read_enum_type): Force enum values to file scope, due to bug in
Sun compiler output. FIXME, fix later.
Remove unused header_file_prev_index mechanism. It was already
obsolete in gdb-3.5. These comments appeared in 3.5:
/* This code was used before I knew about the instance codes.
My first hypothesis is that it is not necessary now
that instance codes are handled. */
* dbxread.c (add_new_header_file): Remove header_file_prev_index.
* buildsym.h: Remove it and prev_index that saves it.
* buildsym.c (push_subfile, pop_subfile, start_symtab): Remove it.
* solib.c (special_symbol_handling): When called from core files,
must set up debug_addr. Don't print error messages, just return.
* symmisc.c (print_symbol): Less ascii diarrhea for enums, please.
libiberty/strsignal.c. Widespread changes to use libiberty/strerror.c
functions for errno manipulations and libiberty/strsignal.c for signo
(signals) manipulations.
and use it to decide when to print the actual type name rather than
trying to invent the name of a fundamental type. This clears up the
confusion between int/long when they are the same sizes, removes one
obstacle to multi-language support (previously valprint.c thought
everything was a C type), and allows gdb to support distinctions between
explicitly and implicitly signed types when the compiler supports such
distinction in the debug output (as does every ANSI compiler I tested
except for gcc).
and fix all usages to be independent of host/target integer size
mismatches. However, cross debugging will still not work until the
sign extension issue is resolved either by fixing the bfd library
or implementing sign extension in the gdb code.
too high or when skipping `forwards' moves us backwards.
(parse_type): Print mis-guessed tag name in complaint.
(parse_external): Eliminate cur_stab and obscure top_stack clobbers.
(parse_procedure): Do not attempt to create symbols; just fill in
the SYMBOL_VALUE field of a .gdbinfo. symbol if we can find one.
(psymtab_to_symtab_1): Split up `stabs' from `native ecoff' code
for clarity. Set top_stack before calling parse_external. In
stabs, sort symbols before calling parse_procedure.
* mipsread.c: Lint.
* symmisc.c (std_in, std_out, std_err): Add vars to access std
FILE *'s when debugging GDB (e.g. as args to dump_symtab).
* Makefile.in: Remove stage* targets. Avoid echo on recursive
makes. Eliminate doc/Makefile from tar.Z file if doc/Makefile.in
exists.
* mipsread.c: Cleanup. Add more complaints for unhandled cases.
Remove new symbol types and such to ../include/coff/symconst.h.
(parse_symbol): Simplify code for parsing struct/enum/unions.
(parse_type): Handle `long long' types.
(upgrade_type): Handle `const' qualifier.
(parse_partial_symbols): fix indentation, clean a bit.
Documentation' ahead of `Installing GDB' to match README.
Update shared library doc, -readnow and -mapped, and directory
structure (add glob and mmalloc). Update configure doc.
