Fix watching structs in C++
Some of the watchpoint logic depends on the fact that the head of the value chain represents the user-specified value to watch. Thus no additional values should be added to the value chain after that. However, if a watchpoint is defined for a C++ structure/class object, then run-time type information (RTTI) may be present. Thus, while constructing the value chain for the watchpoint, the dynamic type is fetched by gnuv3_rrti_type, which invokes value_addr, which then adds a new value to the head of the value chain. This new value represents the pointer to the structure instead of the structure itself. With such a "polluted" value chain the watchpoint logic does not recognize when the user intended to watch a struct, and can_use_hardware_watchpoint returns zero. Instead of a hardware watchpoint, a software watchpoint will then be set for no apparent reason. This is fixed by adding an early exit to gnuv3_rtti_type when the input value is not a dynamic class object. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.cp/watch-cp.cc: New test. * gdb.cp/watch-cp.exp: New file. gdb/ChangeLog: * gnu-v3-abi.c (gnuv3_rtti_type): Add early exit if the given value is not a dynamic class object.
