Make sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs instead of structs
A while ago, back when GDB was a C program, the sect_offset and cu_offset types were made structs in order to prevent incorrect mixing of those offsets. Now that we require C++11, we can make them integers again, while keeping the safety, by exploiting "enum class". We can add a bit more safety, even, by defining operators that the types _should_ support, helping making the suspicious uses stand out more. Getting at the underlying type is done with the new to_underlying function added by the previous patch, which also helps better spot where do we need to step out of the safety net. Mostly, that's around parsing the DWARF, and when we print the offset for complaint/debug purposes. But there are other occasional uses. Since we have to define the sect_offset/cu_offset types in a header anyway, I went ahead and generalized/library-fied the idea of "offset" types, making it trivial to add more such types if we find a use. See common/offset-type.h and the DEFINE_OFFSET_TYPE macro. I needed a couple generaly-useful preprocessor bits (e.g., yet another CONCAT implementation), so I started a new common/preprocessor.h file. I included units tests covering the "offset" types API. These are mostly compile-time tests, using SFINAE to check that expressions that shouldn't compile (e.g., comparing unrelated offset types) really are invalid and would fail to compile. This same idea appeared in my pending enum-flags revamp from a few months ago (though this version is a bit further modernized compared to what I had posted), and I plan on reusing the "check valid expression" bits added here in that series, so I went ahead and defined the CHECK_VALID_EXPR macro in its own header -- common/valid-expr.h. I think that's nicer regardless. I was borderline between calling the new types "offset" types, or "index" types, BTW. I stuck with "offset" simply because that's what we're already calling them, mostly. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-04-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Add unittests/offset-type-selftests.c. (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_OBS): Add offset-type-selftests.o. * common/offset-type.h: New file. * common/preprocessor.h: New file. * common/traits.h: New file. * common/valid-expr.h: New file. * dwarf2expr.c: Include "common/underlying.h". Adjust to use sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs throughout. * dwarf2expr.h: Adjust to use sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs throughout. * dwarf2loc.c: Include "common/underlying.h". Adjust to use sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs throughout. * dwarf2read.c: Adjust to use sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs throughout. * gdbtypes.h: Include "common/offset-type.h". (cu_offset): Now an offset type (strong typedef) instead of a struct. (sect_offset): Likewise. (union call_site_parameter_u): Rename "param_offset" field to "param_cu_off". * unittests/offset-type-selftests.c: New file.

+/* Define an "offset" type. Offset types are distinct integer types
+ that are used to represent an offset into anything that is
+ addressable. For example, an offset into a DWARF debug section.
+ The idea is catch mixing unrelated offset types at compile time, in
+ code that needs to manipulate multiple different kinds of offsets
+ that are easily confused. They're safer to use than native
+ integers, because they have no implicit conversion to anything.
+ And also, since they're implemented as "enum class" strong
+ typedefs, they're still integers ABI-wise, making them a bit more
+ efficient than wrapper structs on some ABIs.
+
+ Some properties of offset types, loosely modeled on pointers:
+
+ - You can compare offsets of the same type for equality and order.
+ You can't compare an offset with an unrelated type.
+
+ - You can add/substract an integer to/from an offset, which gives
+ you back a shifted offset.
+
+ - You can subtract two offsets of the same type, which gives you
+ back the delta as an integer (of the enum class's underlying
+ type), not as an offset type.
+
+ - You can't add two offsets of the same type, as that would not
+ make sense.
+
+ However, unlike pointers, you can't deference offset types. */
