Pedro Alves 22796e972f More gdb::optional features
Currently we can't use gdb::optional<T> as function return type,
because gdb::optional's copy ctor is deleted.  For example, with:

  gdb::optional<int> function ()
  {
    gdb::optional<int> opt;
    ....
    return opt;

we get:

  src/gdb/foo.c: In function ‘gdb::optional<int> foo()’:
  src/gdb/foo.c:75:10: error: use of deleted function ‘gdb::optional<T>::optional(const gdb::optional<T>&) [with T = int]’
     return opt;
	    ^
  In file included from src/gdb/foo.c:68:0:
  src/gdb/common/gdb_optional.h:53:3: note: declared here
     optional (const optional &other) = delete;
     ^

I started by fixing that, and then ran into another missing feature,
also fixed by this patch.

The next feature I'm missing most from gdb::optional<T> compared to
std::optional<T> is construction/move/assignment from a T, instead of
having to default construct an gdb::optional and then use
optional::emplace(....).

For example:
  gdb::optional<std::string> function ()
  {
    gdb::optional<std::string> opt;
    std::string str;
    ...
    opt.emplace (std::move (str));
    return opt;
vs
  gdb::optional<std::string> function ()
  {
    std::string str;
    ...
    return str;

The copy/move ctor/assign methods weren't initialy implemented because
std::optional supports construction from a type U if U is convertible
to T too, and has rules to decide whether the ctors are
explicit/implicit based on that, and rules for whether the ctor should
be trivial or not, etc., which leads to a much more complicated
implementation.

If we stick to supporting copy/move construction/assignment of/to an
optional<T> from exactly only optional<T> and T, then all that
conversion-related complication disappears, and we still gain
convenience in most use cases.

The patch also makes emplace return a reference to the constructor
object, per C++17 std::optional, and adds a reset method, againt
because std::optional has one and it's trivial to support it.  These
two changes are a requirement of the gdb::optional unit testing patch
that will follow.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
