Simon Marchi fa94b3a7c8 gdb: update Type.fields doc based on actual GDB behavior
I noticed two errors in the Type.fields documentation:

1. It is possible to call `fields` on an array type, in which case it
   returns one field representing the array's range.  It is not
   mentioned.

2. When calling `fields` on a type that doesn't have fields (by nature,
   like an int), GDB raises a TypeError.  It does not return an empty
   sequence, as currently documented.

Fix these, and change the text into a bullet list.  I find it easier to
read than one big paragraph.

The first issue is already tested in gdb.python/py-type.exp, but the
second one doesn't seem tested.  Add a test in gdb.python/py-type.exp
for it.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* python.texi (Types In Python): Re-organize Type.fields doc.
	Mention handling of array types.  Correct doc for when calling
	the method on another type.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.python/py-type.exp (test_fields): Test calling fields on
	an int type.

		   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

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