Simon Marchi edd45eb06b gdb: fix printing of flag enums with multi-bit enumerators
GDB has this feature where if an enum looks like it is meant to
represent binary flags, it will present the values of that type as a
bitwise OR of the flags that are set in the value.

The original motivation for this patch is to fix this behavior:

  enum hello { AAA = 0x1, BBB = 0xf0 };

  (gdb) p (enum hello) 0x11
  $1 = (AAA | BBB)

This is wrong because the bits set in BBB (0xf0) are not all set in the
value 0x11, but GDB presents it as if they all were.

I think that enumerations with enumerators that have more than one bit
set should simply not qualify as "flag enum", as far as this
heuristic is concerned.  I'm not sure what it means to have flags of
more than one bit.  So this is what this patch implements.

I have added an assert in generic_val_print_enum_1 to make sure the flag
enum types respect that, in case they are used by other debug info
readers, in the future.

I've enhanced the gdb.base/printcmds.exp test to cover this case.  I've
also added tests for printing flag enums with value 0, both when the
enumeration has and doesn't have an enumerator for value 0.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2/read.c: Include "count-one-bits.h".
	(update_enumeration_type_from_children): If an enumerator has
	multiple bits set, don't treat the enumeration as a "flag enum".
	* valprint.c (generic_val_print_enum_1): Assert that enumerators
	of flag enums have 0 or 1 bit set.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/printcmds.c (enum flag_enum): Prefix enumerators with
	FE_, add FE_NONE.
	(three): Update.
	(enum flag_enum_without_zero): New enum.
	(flag_enum_without_zero): New variable.
	(enum not_flag_enum): New enum.
	(three_not_flag): New variable.
	* gdb.base/printcmds.exp (test_artificial_arrays): Update.
	(test_print_enums): Add more tests for printing flag enums.

		   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.
