Well, most of the gdb.dwarf2 test cases simply use explicitly placed labels
for the DW_AT_low_pc / DW_AT_high_pc attributes.

PR python/19293 notes that when a Python unwinder is disabled, the
frame cache is not invalidated. This means that disabling an unwinder
doesn't have any immediate effect -- but in my experience it's often
the case that I want to enable or disable an unwinder in order to see
what happens.
This patch adds a new gdb.invalidate_cached_frames function and
arranges for the relevant bits of library code to call it. I've only
partially documented this function, considering a warning sufficient
without going into all the reasons ordinary code should not call it.
The name of the new function was taken from a comment in frame.h next
to reinit_frame_cache.
No new test as I think the updates to the existing test are sufficient
to show that the code is working as intended.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2005-03/msg00217.html>, ("Rework
MIPS nop-insertion code, add -mfix-vr4130 [5/11]"), and remove a call to
`install_insn' from `append_insn', which as from that change has become
redundant. This is because such a call, to place an instruction's bit
pattern in output, is already made from `move_insn', called from
`add_relaxed_insn' or `add_fixed_insn' as appropriate, either of which
now always is and has to be made from `append_insn' before the repeated
call to `install_insn' is made. Previously the place where this second
invocation is made was the only one where the output stream was updated,
although the update was made inline rather than with a function call.
Remove the repeated call then, to reclaim some performance.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* cp-namespace.c (cp_lookup_bare_symbol): Initialize
lang_this.symbol.
Using the default lookup for the symbol "this" might lead to segmentation
fault in GDB.
Some languages, e.g. Fortran, use as default lookup routine the C++
routines.
For those languages "this" can be the instance of a class or even the
definition of a class.
When an instance of a class having the name "this" is evaluated
in GDB a segmentation fault was observed.
As example of the issue take into consideration the Fortran code:
type foo
real :: a
type(bar) :: x
character*7 :: b
end type foo
type(foo) :: this
Issue appears when evaluating the variable "this" in GDB.
Within the language definition structure there is a field that represents
the name of the special symbol used for the C++ "this" for the language
being described.
The fix presented here takes into account the aforementioned field. In the
case the aforementioned field is NULL "this" is not represented in the
language described and the lookup should return a null_block_symbol.
Tests: Performed tests with gfortran and ifort.

This causes a problem when testing with the native-gdbserver board, when
the binary has the same name as the test. When gdb_remote_download is
called to upload the compiled binary, the implementation for
native-gdbserver copies it in the standard output directory (in
outputs/gdb.ada/formatted_ref). However, there is already a directory
named formatted_ref in there, so the copy fails and gdbserver isn't able
to load the binary.
This patch bypasses the problem by removing the extra directory level.
The compiled binary will already be in its final location in the
standard output directory, so the copy will effectively be a no-op.

When GDB determines whether type T can be part of candidate for
passing and returning in VFP registers, it calls
arm_vfp_cprc_sub_candidate recursively. However, if type T has
self-reference field, like,
class C
{
static C s;
};
arm_vfp_cprc_sub_candidate won't return. This fix is to skip calling
arm_vfp_cprc_sub_candidate if the field is static.
