The attached patch fixes a problem where nm displays bogus information for
synthetic symbol sizes when --size-sort is used.
This happens because the synthetic symbols (dot symbols for ppc64) are
generated based on their non-dot symbols. The generation process doesn't copy
over the ELF-specific bits of the regular non-dot symbols.
When --size-sort is used, the code attempts to access the symbol size from
the ELF-specific bits and ends up reading gargabe, causing the size to be
displayed incorrectly.
With the patch, i can see dot and non-dot symbols having the same size with
--size-sort.
This doesn't fix the fact that we don't display size information for synthetic
symbols without --size-sort, which i may address in the future.

Use std::string for the id field of the ui_out_table object.
I found that all users of ui_out_table_begin passed a non-NULL value to
the tblid parameter, so we don't have to worry about the NULL case. I
changed the tblid parameter to be a std::string while at it.

Use a standard vector instead of the home-made version. I used a vector

Convert the levels field of struct ui_out to be a vector of unique_ptr

The following patches introduce C++ vectors and strings as fields of the
various ui_out structures. We therefore need to use new/delete so that
their contructor/destructor is called. I find it simpler to change all
the allocations in a separate preliminary patch, rather than in each
individual patch.

Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

The PR20886 binary is large enough that there are two stub sections
servicing .text (which is 88M). It so happens that between one
iteration of sizing and the next that one stub section grows while
the other shrinks. Since one section is always growing, the loop
never terminates.
This patch changes the algorithm to not update previous size on
shrinking, once we go past a certain number of iterations.

With the previous change, value.location.address is only valid for
lval_memory. This patch restrict some checking on value.lval on
using address. Since we have a check on VALUE_VAL in

set_value_address too.

value.regnum and value.next_frame_id are only used for lval_register,
so this patch moves them to union value.location. As a result, when
we copy value, only copy location, don't need to copy regnum and

This patch also changes regnum's type to int as there is no space
constraint, so update deprecated_value_regnum_hack return type too.

Nowadays, we set computed value's frame id, which is a misuse to me.
The computed value itself doesn't care about frame id, but function
value_computed_funcs (val)->read (or read_pieced_value) cares about
which frame the register is relative to, so 'struct piece_closure' is
a better place to fit frame id.
This patch adds a frame id in 'struct piece_closure', and use it
instead of using computed value's frame id.
