Sign-extend non-bit-fields in unpack_bits_as_long
unpack_bits_as_long is documented as sign-extending its result when the type is signed. However, it was only doing sign-extension in the case where the field was a bitfield -- that is, not when the "bitsize" parameter was 0, indicating the size should be taken from the type. Also, unpack_bits_as_long was incorrectly computing the shift for big-endian architectures for the non-bitfield case. This patch fixes these bugs in a straightforward way. A new selftest is included. 2018-02-26 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Add unittests/unpack-selftests.c. * unittests/unpack-selftests.c: New file. * value.c (unpack_bits_as_long): Fix bugs in non-bitfield cases.
