infcall, c++: allow more info to be computed for pass-by-reference values
In C++, call-by-value arguments that cannot be trivially copied are implicitly passed by reference. When making an infcall, GDB needs to find out if an argument is pass-by-reference or not, so that the correct semantics can be followed. This patch enriches the information computed by the language ops for pass-by-reference arguments. Instead of a plain binary result, the computed information now includes whether the argument is - copy constructible - destructible - trivially copyable - trivially copy constructible - trivially destructible This information is stored in a struct named 'language_pass_by_ref_info'. This patch paves the way for GDB's infcall mechanism to call the copy ctor and the destructor of a pass-by-ref argument appropriately. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-12-20 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * language.h (struct language_pass_by_ref_info): New struct. (struct language_defn)<la_pass_by_reference>: Change the signature to return a language_pass_by_ref_info instead of an int. (language_pass_by_reference): Ditto. (default_pass_by_reference): Ditto. Adjust the users listed below. * arch-utils.c (default_return_in_first_hidden_param_p): Update. * cp-abi.c (cp_pass_by_reference): Update. * cp-abi.h (cp_pass_by_reference): Update declaration. (struct cp_abi_ops)<pass_by_reference>: Update. * gnu-v3-abi.c (gnuv3_pass_by_reference): Update. * infcall.c (call_function_by_hand_dummy): Update. * language.c (language_pass_by_reference): Update. (default_pass_by_reference): Update. * tic6x-tdep.c (tic6x_return_value): Update. Change-Id: Ib1c1f87f2490a5737c469f7b7185ddc7f6a164cb
