[RFA/testsuite] ptype of structs with anonymous type fields


In case I made the subject of this message so short that it doesn't make
any sense anymore, the purpose of this message is to add a new test in
printing a structure that contains a field whose type is anonymous. More
particularly, the purpose of this test is to verify what GDB prints for
a field that is directly inside the structure, and a field that is
one level deeper.

The test itself is pretty straightforward, but I'm asking for approval
because I want to make sure that the current behavior is indeed the expected
behavior.

See http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-08/msg00494.html
for the inspiration for this new test.

        * gdb.base/ptype.c (highest): New struct type.
        (the_highest): New variable of that type.
        (main): Add dummy assignment to a field of variable the_highest.

Tested on x86-linux.
OK to apply?

Thanks,
