Lancelot SIX fbb46296d7 [PR gdb/22640] ptype: add option to use hexadecimal notation
This commit adds a flag to the ptype command in order to print the
offsets and sizes of struct members using the hexadecimal notation.  The
'x' flag ensures use of the hexadecimal notation while the 'd' flag
ensures use of the decimal notation.  The default is to use decimal
notation.

Before this patch, gdb only uses decimal notation, as pointed out in PR
gdb/22640.

Here is an example of this new behavior with hex output turned on:

    (gdb) ptype /ox struct type_print_options
    /* offset      |    size */  type = struct type_print_options {
    /* 0x0000: 0x0 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int raw : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x1 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_methods : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x2 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_typedefs : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x3 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_offsets : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x4 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_in_hex : 1;
    /* XXX  3-bit hole       */
    /* XXX  3-byte hole      */
    /* 0x0004      |  0x0004 */    int print_nested_type_limit;
    /* 0x0008      |  0x0008 */    typedef_hash_table *local_typedefs;
    /* 0x0010      |  0x0008 */    typedef_hash_table *global_typedefs;
    /* 0x0018      |  0x0008 */    ext_lang_type_printers *global_printers;

                                   /* total size (bytes):   32 */
                                 }

This patch also adds the 'set print type hex' and 'show print type hex'
commands in order to set and inspect the default behavior regarding the
use of decimal or hexadecimal notation when printing struct sizes and
offsets.

Tested using on x86_64.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* typeprint.h (struct type_print_options): Add print_in_hex
	flag.
	(struct print_offset_data): Add print_in_hex flag, add a
	constructor accepting a type_print_options* argument.
	* typeprint.c (type_print_raw_options, default_ptype_flags): Set
	default value for print_in_hex.
	(print_offset_data::indentation): Allow more horizontal space.
	(print_offset_data::print_offset_data): Add ctor.
	(print_offset_data::maybe_print_hole, print_offset_data::update):
	Handle the print_in_hex flag.
	(whatis_exp): Handle 'x' and 'd' flags.
	(print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Declare.
	(set_print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Create.
	(show_print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Create.
	(_initialize_typeprint): Update help message for the ptype
	command, register the 'set print type hex' and 'show print type
	hex' commands.
	* c-typeprint.c (c_print_type, c_type_print_base_struct_union)
	(c_type_print_base): Construct the print_offset_data
	object using the type_print_optons parameter.
	* rust-lang.c (rust_language::print_type): Construct the
	print_offset_data object using the type_print_optons parameter.
	* NEWS: Mention the new flags of the ptype command.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Describe the 'x' and 'd' flags of the
	ptype command, describe 'set print type hex' and 'show print
	type hex' commands.  Update 'ptype/o' examples.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* gdb.base/ptype-offsets.exp: Add tests to verify the behavior
	of 'ptype/ox' and 'ptype/od'. Check that 'set print type hex'
	changes the default behavior of 'ptype/o'.  Update to take into
	account new horizontal layout.
	* gdb.rust/simple.exp: Update ptype test to check new horizontal
	layout.
	* gdb.rust/union.exp: Same.

		   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.
