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.

Adjust the users listed below.
* arch-utils.c (default_return_in_first_hidden_param_p):
Update.
