This patch fixes C++ build errors like this:
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:1126:35: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘filterflags’ [-fpermissive]
| COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE);

This is a case of enums used as bit flags. Unlike "regular" enums,
these values are supposed to be or'ed together. However, in C++, the
type of "(ENUM1 | ENUM2)" is int, and you then can't assign an int to
an enum variable without a cast. That means that this:
enum foo_flags flags = 0;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG1;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG2;
... would have to be written as:
enum foo_flags flags = (enum foo_flags) 0;
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG1);
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG2);
which is ... ugly. Alternatively, we'd have to use an int for the
variable's type, which isn't ideal either.
This patch instead adds an "enum flags" class. "enum flags" are
exactly the enums where the values are bits that are meant to be ORed
together.
This allows writing code like the below, while with raw enums this
would fail to compile without casts to enum type at the assignments to
'f':
enum some_flag
{
flag_val1 = 1 << 1,
flag_val2 = 1 << 2,
flag_val3 = 1 << 3,
flag_val4 = 1 << 4,
};
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE(enum some_flag, some_flags)
some_flags f = flag_val1 | flag_val2;
f |= flag_val3;
It's also possible to assign literal zero to an enum flags variable
(meaning, no flags), dispensing either adding an awkward explicit "no
value" value to the enumeration or the cast to assignments from 0.
For example:
some_flags f = 0;
f |= flag_val3 | flag_val4;
Note that literal integers other than zero do fail to compile:
some_flags f = 1; // error
C is still supported -- DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE is just a typedef in that
case.
