Fix print of value type in a corner case of finish
When doing finish in a function, if gdb fails to return a value, gdb
also fails at printing the value type if this type is a struct.
For example :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: . Cannot determine contents
This patch fixes this by calling type_to_string to print the type
so that we can support these types.
This patch returns the following example output :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: struct test. Cannot determine contents
Also, this patch modifies structs.exp to check that we return the
correct type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb/infcmd.c (print_return_value): use type_to_string to print type.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/structs.exp: Check for correct struct on finish.
