The language_defn structure has an la_magic field, this used to be
used as a basic check that the language_defn structure had the
expected layout - at least the end of the structure was where we
expected it to be.
This feature only really makes sense if we imagine GDB dynamically
loading language support from dynamic libraries, where a version
mismatch might cause problems.
However, in current GDB language support is statically built into GDB,
and since this commit:
commit 47e77640be31fc1a4eb3718f594ed5fd0faff065
Date: Thu Jul 20 18:28:01 2017 +0100
Make language_def O(1)
the existing (if pointless) check of the la_magic field was removed.
There now appears to be no use of the la_magic field, and I propose
that we delete it.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

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.
