Fix incorrect .gdb_index with new DWARF scanner
PR symtab/29694 points out a regression caused by the new DWARF scanner when the cc-with-gdb-index target board is used. What happens here is that an older version of gdb will make an index describing the "A" type as: [737] A: 1 [global, type] whereas the new gdb says: [1008] A: 0 [global, type] Here the old one is correct because the A in CU 0 is just a declaration without a size: <1><45>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_structure_type) <46> DW_AT_name : A <48> DW_AT_declaration : 1 <48> DW_AT_sibling : <0x6d> This patch fixes the problem by introducing the idea of a "type declaration". I think gdb still needs to recurse into these types, searching for methods, but by marking the type itself as a declaration, gdb can skip this type during lookups and when writing the index. Regression tested on x86-64 using the cc-with-gdb-index board. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29694
