PR symtab/25470 points out that the Zig programming language allows integers of various bit sizes (including zero), not just sizes that are a multiple of 8. This is supported in DWARF by applying both a byte size and a DW_AT_bit_size. This patch adds support for this feature to integer and boolean types. Other base types are not handled -- for floating-point types, this didn't seem to make sense, and for character types I didn't see much need. (These can be added later if desired.) I've also added support for DW_AT_data_bit_offset at the same time. I don't know whether the Zig compiler requires this, but it was described in the same section in the DWARF standard and was easy to add. A new test case is supplied, using the DWARF assembler. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-09-23 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/25470: * value.c (unpack_long, pack_long, pack_unsigned_long): Handle bit offset and bit size. * printcmd.c (print_scalar_formatted): Handle zero-length integer.

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.
