Pedro Alves 5401971915 C++: handle glibc's ptrace(enum __ptrace_request, ...)
Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:

 ../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function ‘int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)’:
 ../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘__ptrace_request’ [-fpermissive]
	ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);

The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants.  E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:

 #define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG	0x4201

One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:

 -#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG	0x4201
 +#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG	((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)

However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:

  extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;

other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:

  long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);

So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type.  (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).

While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* ptrace.m4 (ptrace tests): Test in C++ mode.  Try with 'enum
	__ptrace_request as first parameter type instead of int.
	(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1): Define.
	* nat/gdb_ptrace.h [!PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5] (ptrace): Define as wrapper
	that casts first argument to PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1.
	* config.in: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-07-24  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* config.in: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.

		   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.
