[commit] Delay reading of struct members

- Subject: [commit] Delay reading of struct members
Our DWARF-2 type reading has two phases. We read the type itself in
whatever order we come across it (read_type_die), and then we create a
symbol for the type when our depth-first walk of the DIE tree reaches
its DIE (process_die).
We already rely on doing both steps for types; for instance, we don't
add the list of enumerators to an enumeration type until we've reached
the type via process_die. This patch does something similar for
structures. Now, we don't add fields or member functions during type
reading, only during DIE processing.
I made this change for the benefit of template parameters. From the
included test case:
template<class C> class Empty
{
};
template<class C> class FunctionArg
{
public:
int method(Empty<void (FunctionArg<C>)> &);
};
Suppose we've got a compiler which emits
DW_TAG_template_type_parameter, and doesn't also put template
parameters into DW_AT_name. ARM's RealView is such a compiler; you
can achieve the same effect by manually removing the "<...>" bits from
GCC's assembler output.
We happen to encounter Empty<void (FunctionArg<int>)> first. We
create an empty type, but we can not assign the type to the die
(set_die_type) until we know the type's name. To figure out the
type's name, we have to recurse through the function type to
FunctionArg<int>. We can easily work out the name of this type,
and then we finish it up by processing its methods. This takes us to
"method", and back around to the DIE for the Empty<void
(FunctionArg<int>)> type that we've already started on. We haven't
registered its type in the hash table yet, though, so we don't know
we've started on it!
Things go bad from there because we've started processing the DIE
for "void (FunctionArg<C>)" but we haven't finished it yet, so the
type of the first argument is a NULL pointer.
I've tested this on x86_64-linux and arm-eabi, using GCC 4.4, GCC 4.5,
and RealView; I also tested it on hand-modified GCC output to trigger
the template argument support. No regressions; committed to HEAD.
