Tom Tromey b249d2c2c0 Prefer existing data when evaluating DWARF expression
When evaluating a DWARF expression, the dynamic type resolution code
will pass in a buffer of bytes via the property_addr_info.  However,
the DWARF expression evaluator will then proceed to read memory from
the inferior, even when the request could be filled from this buffer.

This, in turn, is a problem in some cases; and specifically when
trying to handle the Ada scenario of extracting a variable-length
value from a packed array.  Here, the ordinary DWARF expression cannot
be directly evaluated, because the data may appear at some arbitrary
bit offset.  So, it is unpacked into a staging area and then the
expression is evaluated -- using an address of 0.

This patch fixes the problem by arranging for the DWARF evaluator, in
this case, to prefer passed-in memory when possible.  The type of the
buffer in the property_addr_info is changed to an array_view so that
bounds checking can be done.

		   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.
