Teach GDB that wchar_t is a built-in type in C++ mode
GDB is currently not aware that wchar_t is a built-in type in C++ mode. This is usually not a problem because the debug info describes the type, so when you have a program loaded, you don't notice this. However, if you try expressions involving wchar_t before a program is loaded, gdb errors out: (gdb) p (wchar_t)-1 No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. (gdb) p L"hello" No type named wchar_t. (gdb) ptype L"hello" No type named wchar_t. This commit teaches gdb about the type. After: (gdb) p (wchar_t)-1 $1 = -1 L'\xffffffff' (gdb) p L"hello" $2 = L"hello" (gdb) ptype L"hello" type = wchar_t [6] Unlike char16_t/char32_t, unfortunately, the underlying type of wchar_t is implementation dependent, both size and signness. So this requires adding a couple new gdbarch hooks. I grepped the GCC code base for WCHAR_TYPE and WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE, and it seems to me that the majority of the ABIs have a 4-byte signed wchar_t, so that's what I made the default for GDB too. And then I looked for which ports have a 16-bit and/or unsigned wchar_t, and made GDB follow suit. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-04-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/21323 * c-lang.c (cplus_primitive_types) <cplus_primitive_type_wchar_t>: New enum value.
