Fix fixed-point binary operation type handling
Testing showed that gdb was not correctly handling some fixed-point binary operations correctly. Addition and subtraction worked by casting the result to the type of left hand operand. So, "fixed+int" had a different type -- and different value -- from "int+fixed". Furthermore, for multiplication and division, it does not make sense to first cast both sides to the fixed-point type. For example, this can prevent "f * 1" from yielding "f", if 1 is not in the domain of "f". Instead, this patch changes gdb to use the value. (This is somewhat different from Ada semantics, as those can yield a "universal fixed point".) This includes a new test case. It is only run in "minimal" mode, as the old-style fixed point works differently, and is obsolete, so I have no plans to change it. gdb/ChangeLog 2021-01-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <BINOP_ADD, BINOP_SUB>: Do not cast result. * valarith.c (fixed_point_binop): Handle multiplication and division specially. * valops.c (value_to_gdb_mpq): New function. (value_cast_to_fixed_point): Use it. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2021-01-06 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/fixed_points/pck.ads (Delta4): New constant. (FP4_Type): New type.
