Tom de Vries 53d5a2a5c1 [gdb] Fix printing of unresolved dynamic type
When debugging gdb in batch mode with executable mixed-lang-stack and doing a
backtrace at breakpt:
...
$ gdb --args gdb \
  -batch \
  outputs/gdb.fortran/mixed-lang-stack/mixed-lang-stack \
  -ex "b breakpt" \
  -ex r \
  -ex bt
...
and stopping at resolve_dynamic_type to print the type:
...
(gdb) b resolve_dynamic_type
Breakpoint 1 at 0x6b020c: file gdbtypes.c, line 2633.
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>call recursive_dump_type (type, 0)
>continue
>end
(gdb) run
...
we eventually run into an assert for the dynamic type of "str":
...
Thread 1 "gdb" hit Breakpoint 1, resolve_dynamic_type (type=0x22204f0, \
  valaddr=..., addr=4199408) at gdbtypes.c:2633
2633        = {check_typedef (type), valaddr, addr, NULL};
type node 0x22204f0
name '<NULL>' (0x0)
code 0xd (TYPE_CODE_STRING)
length 0
  ...
    nfields 0 0x22204b0
gdbtypes.h:526: internal-error: LONGEST dynamic_prop::const_val() const: \
  Assertion `m_kind == PROP_CONST' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
...
when trying to print the high bound of a TYPE_CODE_RANGE, which has m_kind
PROP_LOCEXPR, while the code in resolve_dynamic_type assumes PROP_CONST.

Fix this by extending the printing of TYPE_CODE_RANGE to allow
PROP_LOCEXPR/PROP_LOCLIST as well, such that we have instead:
...
    nfields 0 0x1fbc020
    low 1  high (dynamic)
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.

		   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.
