gdb: Remove support for old mangling schemes
An upcoming sync with gcc's libiberty [1] will remove support for old mangling schemes (GNU v2, Lucid, ARM, HP and EDG). It will remove the cplus_demangle_opname function, so we need to get rid of its usages in GDB (it's a GNU v2 specific function). I think the changes are mostly relatively obvious, some hacks that were necessary to support overloaded operators with GNU v2 mangling are not needed anymore. The change in stabsread.c is perhaps less obvious. I think we could get rid of more code in that region that is specific to old mangling schemes, but I chose to do only the minimal changes required to remove the cplus_demangle_opname uses. There is also a detailed comment just above that explaining how GNU v2 and v3 mangled symbols are handled, I decided to leave it as-is, since I wasn't sure which part to remove, change or leave there. [1] The commit "Remove support for demangling GCC 2.x era mangling schemes.", specifically. gdb/ChangeLog: * gdbtypes.c (check_stub_method_group): Remove handling of old mangling schemes. * linespec.c (find_methods): Likewise. * stabsread.c (read_member_functions): Likewise. * valops.c (search_struct_method): Likewise. (value_struct_elt_for_reference): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention this change. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.cp/demangle.exp (test_gnu_style_demangling): Rename to... (test_gnuv3_style_demangling): ... this. (test_lucid_style_demangling): Remove. (test_arm_style_demangling): Remove. (test_hp_style_demangling): Remove. (do_tests): Remove calls to the above. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Print Settings): Remove mention of specific demangle-style values, just refer to the in-process help.
