Dwarf 5: Handle debug_str_offsets and indexed attributes that have base offsets.
* Process debug_str_offsets section. Handle DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute and keep the value in dwarf2_cu. * Make addr_base field in dwarf2_cu optional to disambiguate 0 value (absent or present and 0). * During parsing, there is no guarantee that DW_AT_str_offsets_base and DW_AT_rnglists_base fields will be processed before the attributes that need those values for correct computation. So make two passes, on the first one mark the attributes that depend on *_base attributes and process only the others. On the second pass, only process the attributes that are marked on the first pass. * For string attributes, differentiate between addresses that directly point to a string and those that point to an offset in debug_str_offsets section. * There are now two attributes, DW_AT_addr_base and DW_AT_GNU_addr_base to read address offset base. Likewise, there are two attributes, DW_AT_rnglists_base and DW_AT_GNU_ranges_base to read ranges base. Since there is no guarantee which ones the compiler will generate, create helper functions to handle all cases. Tested with CC=/usr/bin/gcc (version 8.3.0) against master branch (also with -gsplit-dwarf and -gdwarf-4 flags) and there was no increase in the set of tests that fails. (gdb still cannot debug a 'hello world' program with DWARF 5, so for the time being, this is all we care about). This is part of an effort to support DWARF-5 in gdb.

+
+ * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_debug_sections): Add debug_str_offsets sections.
+ (dwarf2_cu): Add str_offsets_base field. Change the type of addr_base
+ to gdb::optional. Update comments.
+ (dwo_file): Update comments.
+ (read_attribute): Update API to take an additional out parameter,
+ need_reprocess. This is used to mark attributes that need other
+ attributes (e.g. str_offsets_base) for correct computation which may not
+ have been read yet.
+ (read_attribute_reprocess): New function declaration.
+ (read_addr_index): Likewise.
+ (read_dwo_str_index): Likewise.
+ (read_stub_str_index): Likewise.
+ (dwarf2_per_objfile::locate_sections): Handle debug_str_offsets section.
+ (lookup_addr_base): New function definition.
+ (lookup_ranges_base): Likewise.
+ (read_cutu_die_from_dwo): Use the new functions: lookup_addr_base,
+ lookup_ranges_base.
+ (init_cutu_and_read_dies): Update comments.
+ (init_cutu_and_read_dies_no_follow): Change API to take parent compile
+ unit. This is used to inherit parent's str_offsets_base and addr_base.
+ Update comments.
+ (init_cutu_and_read_dies_simple): Reflect API changes.
+ (skip_one_die): Reflect API changes. Handle DW_FORM_rnglistx.
+ (create_cus_hash_table): Change API to take parent compile unit.
+ Reflect API changes.
+ (open_and_init_dwo_file): Reflect API changes.
+ (dwarf2_get_pc_bounds): Update comments.
+ (dwarf2_record_block_ranges): Likewise.
+ (read_full_die_1): Change implementation to reprocess attributes that
+ need str_offsets_base and addr_base.
+ (partial_die_info::read): Likewise.
+ (read_attribute_reprocess): New function definition.
+ (read_attribute_value): Change API to take an additional out parameter,
+ need_reprocess. Handle DW_FORM_rnglistx. No longer trigger an error
+ when a non-dwo compile unit has index based attributes.
+ (read_attribute): Reflect API changes.
+ (read_addr_index_1): Reflect API changes. Update comments.
+ (dwarf2_read_addr_index_data): Reflect API changes.
+ (dwarf2_read_addr_index): Likewise.
+ (read_str_index): Change API and implementation. This becomes a helper
+ to be used by the new string index related methods. Update error
+ message and comments.
+ (read_dwo_str_index): New function definition.
+ (read_stub_str_index): Likewise.
+ * dwarf2read.h (dwarf2_per_objfile): Add str_offsets field.
+ * symfile.h (dwarf2_debug_sections): Likewise.
+ * xcoffread.c (dwarf2_debug_sections): Likewise.
