Yao Qi 876c4df947 DW attribute macro MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
This patch addes DW macro attributes MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
in dwarf assembler, which emits "DW_AT_low_pc func_start addr" and
"DW_AT_high_pc func_end addr".  func_start and func_end are computed
automatically by proc function_range.

These two attributes are pseudo attribute or macro attribute, which
means they are not standard dwarf attribute in dwarf spec.  Then can
be substituted or expanded to standard attributes or macro attributes.
See details in the comments to them.  Dwarf assembler is extended to
handle them.

Now the attributes name/low_pc/high_pc can be replaced with
MACRO_AT_func like this:

    subprogram {
	{name main}
	{low_pc main_start addr}
	{high_pc main_end addr}
    }

becomes:

    subprogram {
	{MACRO_AT_func { main ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile} }}
    }

users don't have to worry about the start and end of function main, and
they only need to add a label main_label in main.

		   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.
