In C++ it is possible to use an empty enum as a strong typedef. For
example, a user could write:
enum class my_type : unsigned char {};
Now my_type can be used like 'unsigned char' except the compiler will
not allow implicit conversion too and from the native 'unsigned char'
type.
This is used in the standard library for things like std::byte.
Currently, when GDB prints a value of type my_type, it looks like
this:
(gdb) print my_var
$1 = (unknown: 0x4)
Which isn't great. This gets worse when we consider something like:
std::vector<my_type> vec;
When using a pretty-printer, this could look like this:
std::vector of length 2, capacity 2 = {(unknown: 0x2), (unknown: 0x4)}
Clearly not great. This is described in PR gdb/30148.
The problem here is in dwarf2/read.c, we assume all enums are flag
enums unless we find an enumerator with a non-flag like value.
Clearly an empty enum contains no non-flag values, so we assume the
enum is a flag enum.
I propose adding an extra check here; that is, an empty enum should
never be a flag enum.
With this the above cases look more like:
(gdb) print my_var
$1 = 4
and:
std::vector of length 2, capacity 2 = {2, 4}
Which look much better.

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.
