* dwarf2loc.h (dwarf2_per_cu_data): Declare.
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf_stack_op_name): No longer static. Return
type is const. Add 'def' argument. Add missing operators, remove
unhandled ones.
(decode_locdesc): Update.
(dwarf2_always_disassemble): New global.
(show_dwarf2_always_disassemble): New function.
(_initialize_dwarf2_read): Add always-disassemble.
(dwarf2_per_cu_offset_size): New function.
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_always_disassemble): Declare.
(piece_end_p): New function.
(locexpr_describe_location_piece): Replace 'size' argument with
'end'. Use piece_end_p. Rewrite recognition of TLS. Recognize
some constants. Remove errors.
(disassemble_dwarf_expression): New function.
(locexpr_describe_location_1): Use disassemble_dwarf_expression.
Add 'offset_size' argument.
(loclist_describe_location): Change output formatting.
* dwarf2expr.h (dwarf_stack_op_name): Declare.
gdb/doc
* gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Document maint set dwarf2
always-disassemble.
