Nick Alcock 2361f1c859 libctf, create: support addition of references to the unimplemented type
The deduplicating linker adds types from the linker inputs to the output
via the same API everyone else does, so it's important that we can emit
everything that the compiler wants us to.  Unfortunately, the compiler
may represent the unimplemented type (used for compiler constructs that
CTF cannot currently encode) as type zero or as a type of kind
CTF_K_UNKNOWN, and we don't allow the addition of types that cite the
former.

Adding this support adds a tiny bit of extra complexity: additions of
structure members immediately following a member of the unimplemented
type must be via ctf_add_member_offset or ctf_add_member_encoded, since
we have no idea how big members of the unimplemented type are.
(Attempts to do otherwise return -ECTF_NONREPRESENTABLE, like other
attempts to do forbidden things with the unimplemented type.)

Even slices of the unimplemented type are permitted: this is the only
case in which you can slice a type that terminates in a non-integral
type, on the grounds that it was likely integral in the source code,
it's just that we can't represent that sort of integral type properly
yet.

libctf/
	* ctf-create.c (ctf_add_reftype): Support refs to type zero.
	(ctf_add_array): Support array contents of type zero.
	(ctf_add_function): Support arguments and return types of
	type zero.
	(ctf_add_typedef): Support typedefs to type zero.
	(ctf_add_member_offset): Support members of type zero,
	unless added at unspecified (naturally-aligned) offset.

		   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.
