gdb: Improve output from "info types" commad
This commit makes two changes to the "info types" command: First, only use typedef_print for printing typedefs, and use type_print for printing non-typedef scalar (non-struct) types. The result of this is the output for builtin types goes from this: typedef double; typedef float; typedef int; to this: double; float; int; which seems to make more sense. Next GDB no longer matches msymbols as possible type names. When looking for function symbols it makes sense to report matching msymbols from the text sections, and for variables msymbols from the data/bss sections, but when reporting types GDB would match msymbols of type absolute. But I don't see why these are likely to indicate type names. As such I've updated the msymbol matching lists in symtab.c:search_symbols so that when searching in the TYPES_DOMAIN, we never match any msymbols. gdb/ChangeLog: * symtab.c (search_symbols): Adjust msymbol matching type arrays so that GDB doesn't match any msymbols when searching in the TYPES_DOMAIN. (print_symbol_info): Print using typedef_print or type_print based on the type of the symbol. Add updated FIXME comment moved from... (_initialize_symtab): ... move and update FIXME comment to above. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/info-types.c: New file. * gdb.base/info-types.exp: New file.
