[RFC] Use compilation unit's address size in dwarf2expr.c and dwarf2loc.c

- Subject: [RFC] Use compilation unit's address size in dwarf2expr.c and dwarf2loc.c
The patch below is a re-work of a patch that Jim Blandy wrote in 2005
and posted in 2006. Jim's 2006 posting may be found here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-05/msg00226.html
This patch fixes problems identified by Fred Fish and Michael Snyder.
See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-05/msg00198.html
and:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-05/msg00484.html
I've tested this patch against i686-pc-linux-gnu (native) and mipsisa64-elf
(cross). I see no regressions for i686-pc-linux. For mipsisa64-elf, the
failure count for gdb.base/*.exp is reduced from 882 to 447.
I've tried to preserve the structure of Jim's ChangeLog comments as
much as possible to make comparisons between this and the original
work easier.
Comments?
Include a pointer to the partial symbol table in the symbol
batons, not to the objfile.
* dwarf2loc.h (sturct dwarf2_locexpr_baton, struct
dwarf2_loclist_baton): New member `psymtab', replacing `objfile'.
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc): Expect a psymtab, not
an objfile. Store the psymtab's objfile in baton.
(locexpr_read_variable, loclist_read_variable): Pass
baton->psymtab to dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc, not baton->objfile.
(locexpr_describe_location): Get the file name for thread-local
storage blocks from dlbaton->psymtab->objfile, instead of
dlbaton->objfile.
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_symbol_mark_computed): Store the cu's psymtab
in the batons we create for location expressions and location lists.
Allow dwarf2loc.c to find a compilation unit's address size, given
the psymtab for that compilation unit.
* dwarf2loc.h (dwarf_psymtab_address_size): New function.
* dwarf2read.c (struct dwarf2_per_cu_data): Add `address_size'
member.
(load_full_comp_unit): Store the cu's address size in it.
(dwarf_psymtab_address_size): New function.
Use the correct address size when parsing Dwarf 2 location lists,
and evaluation of DW_OP_deref and DW_OP_deref_size opcodes.
* dwarf2loc.h (struct dwarf_expr_context): New member
`address_size'.
(dwarf2_read_address): Adjust prototype; see next change.
* dwarf2expr.c (dwarf2_read_address): Take the address size as an
argument, rather than returning the address size via a reference
parameter.
(unsigned_address_type, signed_address_type): Take an address size
as an argument.
(execute_stack_op): Pass CTX's address size to dwarf2_read_address.
Use it as the pointer size for DW_OP_deref and DW_OP_deref_size.
Pass CTX to pass the address size to unsigned_address_type and
signed_address_type.
* dwarf2loc.h (dwarf_psymtab_address_size): New prototype.
* dwarf2loc.c (find_location_expression): Use baton->psymtab's
address size.
(dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc): Store PSYMTAB's address size in the
context we're creating.
(dwarf2_loc_desc_needs_frame): Likewise.
(locexpr_read_needs_frame): Pass the psymtab to
dwarf2_loc_desc_needs_frame.
(locexpr_describe_location): Use dlbaton's psymtab's address size
to read DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address's operand.
* dwarf2-frame.c (size_of_encoded_value): Add forward declaration.
(execute_stack_op, execute_cfa_program): Use
size_of_encoded_value (DW_EH_PE_absptr) as the address size.
