[binutils-gdb] Fix PR gdb/20295: GDB segfaults printing bitfield member of optimized out value


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT e5ca03b41d2c94919d5cb59d8d7adad98c29d156 ***

Fix PR gdb/20295: GDB segfaults printing bitfield member of optimized out value

With something like:

  struct A { int bitfield:4; } var;

If 'var' ends up wholly-optimized out, printing 'var.bitfield' crashes
gdb here:

unpack_value_bitfield is already optimized-out/unavailable -aware:

   (...) VALADDR points to the contents of VAL.  If the VAL's contents
   required to extract the bitfield from are unavailable/optimized
   out, DEST_VAL is correspondingly marked unavailable/optimized out.

however, it is not considering the case of the value having no
contents buffer at all, as can happen through
allocate_optimized_out_value.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-08-09  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* value.c (unpack_value_bitfield): Skip unpacking if the parent
	has no contents buffer to begin with.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-08-09  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.dwarf2/bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp: New file.
