Jan Kratochvil 5fff6115fe Fix LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libasan.so.6 gdb
Currently for a binary compiled normally (without -fsanitize=address) but with
LD_PRELOAD of ASAN one gets:

$ ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0:alloc_dealloc_mismatch=1:abort_on_error=1:fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libasan.so.6 gdb
=================================================================

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: alloc-dealloc-mismatch (/usr/lib64/libasan.so.6+0xb0fa7) in operator delete[](void*)
==1909567==HINT: if you don't care about these errors you may set ASAN_OPTIONS=alloc_dealloc_mismatch=0
==1909567==ABORTING

Despite the code called properly operator new[] and operator delete[].
But GDB's new-op.cc provides its own operator new[] which gets translated into
malloc() (which gets recogized as operatore new(size_t)) but as it does not
translate also operators delete[] Address Sanitizer gets confused.

The question is how many variants of the delete operator need to be provided.
There could be 14 operators new but there are only 4, GDB uses 3 of them.
There could be 16 operators delete but there are only 6, GDB uses 2 of them.
It depends on libraries and compiler which of the operators will get used.
Currently being used:
                 U operator new[](unsigned long)
                 U operator new(unsigned long)
                 U operator new(unsigned long, std::nothrow_t const&)
                 U operator delete[](void*)
                 U operator delete(void*, unsigned long)

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

the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
