Pedro Alves 8d297bbf60 Type-safe wrapper for enum flags
This patch fixes C++ build errors like this:

/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:1126:35: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘filterflags’ [-fpermissive]
       | COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE);
                                   ^

This is a case of enums used as bit flags.  Unlike "regular" enums,
these values are supposed to be or'ed together.  However, in C++, the
type of "(ENUM1 | ENUM2)" is int, and you then can't assign an int to
an enum variable without a cast.  That means that this:

  enum foo_flags flags = 0;

  if (...)
    flags |= FOO_FLAG1;
  if (...)
    flags |= FOO_FLAG2;

... would have to be written as:

  enum foo_flags flags = (enum foo_flags) 0;

  if (...)
    flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG1);
  if (...)
    flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG2);

which is ... ugly.  Alternatively, we'd have to use an int for the
variable's type, which isn't ideal either.

This patch instead adds an "enum flags" class.  "enum flags" are
exactly the enums where the values are bits that are meant to be ORed
together.

This allows writing code like the below, while with raw enums this
would fail to compile without casts to enum type at the assignments to
'f':

  enum some_flag
  {
     flag_val1 = 1 << 1,
     flag_val2 = 1 << 2,
     flag_val3 = 1 << 3,
     flag_val4 = 1 << 4,
  };
  DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE(enum some_flag, some_flags)

  some_flags f = flag_val1 | flag_val2;
  f |= flag_val3;

It's also possible to assign literal zero to an enum flags variable
(meaning, no flags), dispensing either adding an awkward explicit "no
value" value to the enumeration or the cast to assignments from 0.
For example:

  some_flags f = 0;
  f |= flag_val3 | flag_val4;

Note that literal integers other than zero do fail to compile:

  some_flags f = 1; // error

C is still supported -- DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE is just a typedef in that
case.

		   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.
