Fix PR symtab/15391
PR symtab/15391 is a failure with the DW_OP_GNU_implicit_pointer feature. I tracked it down to a logic error in read_pieced_value. The code truncates this_size_bits according to the type size and offset too early -- it should do it after taking bits_to_skip into account. This patch fixes the bug. While testing this, I also tripped across a latent bug because indirect_pieced_value does not sign-extend where needed. This patch fixes this bug as well. Finally, Pedro pointed out that a previous version implemented sign extension incorrectly. This version introduces a new gdb_sign_extend function for this. A couple of notes on this function: * It has the gdb_ prefix to avoid clashes with various libraries that felt free to avoid proper namespacing. There is a "sign_extend" function in a Tile GX header, in an SOM-related BFD header (and in sh64-tdep.c and as a macro in arm-wince-tdep.c, but those are ours...) * I looked at all the sign extensions in gdb and didn't see ones that I felt comfortable converting to use this function; in large part because I don't have a good way to test the conversion. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. New test cases included; this required a minor addition to the DWARF assembler. Note that the DWARF CU made by implptrpiece.exp uses a funny pointer size in order to show the sign-extension bug on all platforms. * dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Truncate this_size_bits after taking bits_to_skip into account. Sign extend byte_offset. * utils.h (gdb_sign_extend): Declare. * utils.c (gdb_sign_extend): New function. * gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece.exp: New file. * gdb.dwarf2/implptrconst.exp (d): New variable. Print d. * lib/dwarf2.exp (Dwarf::_location): Handle DW_OP_piece.
