Joel Brobecker dc53a7adb5 DWARF: Add array DW_AT_bit_stride and DW_AT_byte_stride support
Consider the following declarations in Ada...

   type Item is range -32 .. 31;
   for Item'Size use 6;

   type Table is array (Natural range 0 .. 4) of Item;
   pragma Pack (Table);

... which declare a packed array whose elements are 6 bits long.
The debugger currently does not notice that the array is packed,
and thus prints values of this type incorrectly. This can be seen
in the "ptype" output:

    (gdb) ptype table
    type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item

Normally, the debugger should print:

    (gdb) ptype table
    type = array (0 .. 4) of foo.item <packed: 6-bit elements>

The debugging information for this array looks like this:

        .uleb128 0xf    # (DIE (0x15c) DW_TAG_array_type)
        .long   .LASF9  # DW_AT_name: "pck__table"
        .byte   0x6     # DW_AT_bit_stride
        .long   0x1a9   # DW_AT_type
        .uleb128 0x10   # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
        .long   0x3b    # DW_AT_type
        .byte   0       # DW_AT_lower_bound
        .byte   0x4     # DW_AT_upper_bound
        .byte   0       # end of children of DIE 0x15c

The interesting part is the DW_AT_bit_stride attribute, which tells
the size of the array elements is 6 bits, rather than the normal
element type's size.

This patch adds support for this attribute by first creating
gdbtypes.c::create_array_type_with_stride, which is an enhanced
version of create_array_type taking an extra parameter as the stride.
The old create_array_type can then be re-implemented very simply
by calling the new create_array_type_with_stride.

We can then use this new function from dwarf2read, to create
arrays with or without stride.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * gdbtypes.h (create_array_type_with_stride): Add declaration.
        * gdbtypes.c (create_array_type_with_stride): New function,
        renaming create_array_type, but with an added parameter
        called "bit_stride".
        (create_array_type): Re-implement using
        create_array_type_with_stride.
        * dwarf2read.c (read_array_type): Add support for DW_AT_byte_stride
        and DW_AT_bit_stride attributes.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.c: New file.
        * gdb.dwarf2/arr-stride.exp: New file.

The test, relying purely on generating an assembly file, only
verifies the type description of our array. But I was also
able to verify manually that the debugger print values of these
types correctly as well (which was not the case prior to this
patch).
