Gary Benson 68d654afdf Fix compilation of .c files as C++ when using Clang
In commit 221db974e653659edb280787af1b3efdd1615083, this patch:

    2020-06-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

    * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Pass "-x c++" explicitly when
    compiling C++ programs.

attempted to fix problems with testcases that compile .c files
with the C++ compiler.  They pass the "c++" option to gdb_compile,
resulting in the following error when using Clang:

    gdb compile failed, clang-10: warning: treating 'c' input as 'c++'
    when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated [-Wdeprecated]

This fix did not work for gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp,
however: the "-x c++" appeared in the compiler's commandline after
the .c file, so the option was not enabled for that file.

The previous files fixed all used build_executable_from_specs, which
compiles and links in separate steps, using gdb_compile: the compile
step passes $type=object to gdb_compile, while the link step passes
$type=executable.

gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp uses gdb_compile directly
instead, and it passes $type=executable to compile and link all in
one step.  Pedro found that DejaGnu's default_target_compile adds
the sources at the end when $type=object, but at the beginning when
$type=executable:

    # This is obscure: we put SOURCES at the end when building an
    # object, because otherwise, in some situations, libtool will
    # become confused about the name of the actual source file.
    if {$type == "object"} {
        set opts "$add_flags $sources"
    } else {
        set opts "$sources $add_flags"
    }

This commit moves the "-x c++" earlier in the compiler's commandline.
Unfortunately this then broke the testcase that required the original
fix, gdb.compile/compile-cplus.exp: the "-x c++" was being parsed for
the linker pass, causing the compiler to attempt to parse the .o files
as C++.  This commit makes passing "-x c++" conditional on the source
being a .c file.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Pass "-x c++" earlier, and only
	for .c files.

		   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

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