Introduce obstack_new, poison other "typed" obstack functions
Since we use obstacks with objects that are not default constructible,
we sometimes need to manually call the constructor by hand using
placement new:
foo *f = obstack_alloc (obstack, sizeof (foo));
f = new (f) foo;
It's possible to use allocate_on_obstack instead, but there are types
that we sometimes want to allocate on an obstack, and sometimes on the
regular heap. This patch introduces a utility to make this pattern
simpler if allocate_on_obstack is not an option:
foo *f = obstack_new<foo> (obstack);
Right now there's only one usage (in tdesc_data_init).
To help catch places where we would forget to call new when allocating
such an object on an obstack, this patch also poisons some other methods
of allocating an instance of a type on an obstack:
- OBSTACK_ZALLOC/OBSTACK_CALLOC
- XOBNEW/XOBNEW
- GDBARCH_OBSTACK_ZALLOC/GDBARCH_OBSTACK_CALLOC
Unfortunately, there's no way to catch wrong usages of obstack_alloc.
By pulling on that string though, it tripped on allocating struct
template_symbol using OBSTACK_ZALLOC. The criterion currently used to
know whether it's safe to "malloc" an instance of a struct is whether it
is a POD. Because it inherits from struct symbol, template_symbol is
not a POD. This criterion is a bit too strict however, it should still
safe to allocate memory for a template_symbol and memset it to 0. We
didn't use is_trivially_constructible as the criterion in the first
place only because it is not available in gcc < 5. So here I considered
two alternatives:
1. Relax that criterion to use std::is_trivially_constructible and add a
bit more glue code to make it work with gcc < 5
2. Continue pulling on the string and change how the symbol structures
are allocated and initialized
I managed to do both, but I decided to go with #1 to keep this patch
simpler and more focused. When building with a compiler that does not
have is_trivially_constructible, the check will just not be enforced.
