Martin Galvan a22df60ad2 Fix gdb crash when trying to print the address of a synthetic C++ reference
After compiling a program which uses C++ references some optimizations may
convert the references into synthetic "pointers".  Trying to print the address
of one of such synthetic references causes gdb to crash with the following
error:

(gdb) print &ref
/build/buildd/gdb-7.7.1/gdb/dwarf2loc.c:1624: internal-error: Should not be able to create a lazy value with an enclosing type
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

Apparently, what was causing it was that value_addr returns a copy of the value
that represents the reference with its type set to T* instead of T&.  However,
its enclosing_type is left untouched, which fails a check made in
read_pieced_value.  We only see the crash happen for references that are
synthetic because they're treated as pieced values, thus the call to
read_pieced_value.

On a related note, it seems that in general there are all sorts of breakage
when working with synthetic references.  This is reported here:

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-18  Martin Galvan  <martin.galvan@tallertechnologies.com>

	* valops.c (value_addr): For C++ references, set the copied value's
	enclosing_type as well.

	* gdb.dwarf2/implref.exp: New file.

		   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.
