Handle DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant
This changes dwarf2read to understand DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant. Note that DW_AT_discr_list is not handled. I did not need this for Rust. I imagine this should not be too hard to add later, should someone need it. Meanwhile I have gdb emit a complaint if it is seen. There is a lurking issue concerning the placement of the discriminant in the DWARF. For Rust, I ended up following the letter of the standard and having the discriminant be a child of the DW_TAG_variant_part. However, GCC's Ada support does not do this. Pierre-Marie filed this with the DWARF committee: http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=180123.1 However as that is read-only, if you have comments you might consider adding them to the GCC bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83935 Finally, there is a DWARF extension lurking in here. In Rust, a univariant enum will not have a discriminant. However, in order to unify the representation of all data-carrying enums, I've made LLVM (and my forthcoming rustc patch) emit a univariant enum using a DW_TAG_variant with a single variant part and without DW_AT_discr. The lack of this DW_AT_discr is the extension. I will submit an issue on dwarfstd.org about this. 2018-02-26 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * dwarf2read.c (struct variant_field): New.
