Leszek Swirski 4aa866af6b Fix AMD64 return value ABI in expression evaluation
The AMD64 System V ABI specifies that when a function has a return type
classified as MEMORY, the caller provides space for the value and passes
the address to this space as the first argument to the function (before
even the "this" pointer). The classification of MEMORY is applied to
struct that are sufficiently large, or ones with unaligned fields.

The expression evaluator uses call_function_by_hand to call functions,
and the hand-built frame has to push arguments in a way that matches the
ABI of the called function. call_function_by_hand supports ABI-based
struct returns, based on the value of gdbarch_return_value, however on
AMD64 the implementation of the classifier incorrectly assumed that all
non-POD types (implemented as "all types with a base class") should be
classified as MEMORY and use the struct return.

This ABI mismatch resulted in issues when calling a function that returns
a class of size <16 bytes which has a base class, including issues such
as the "this" pointer being incorrect (as it was passed as the second
argument rather than the first).

This is now fixed by checking for field alignment rather than POD-ness,
and a testsuite is added to test expression evaluation for AMD64.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_classify_aggregate): Use cp_pass_by_reference
	rather than a hand-rolled POD check when checking for forced MEMORY
	classification.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.arch/amd64-eval.cc: New file.
	* gdb.arch/amd64-eval.exp: New file.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
