[patch] [python] mi/12531

[Phil Muldoon <pmuldoon at redhat dot com>]

This patch fixes a case where an MI user could install a visualizer on a
synthetic varobj.  If we detect that the object is a CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD,
we do not install a visualizer.  I thought about raising an error, but
other MI behavior with fake children is just to move on if possible.  I
did the same.

Cheers

Phil

	* varobj.c (install_default_visualizer): Do not install a
	visualizer if the varobj is CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD.
	(construct_visualizer): Likewise.


2011-04-13  Phil Muldoon  <pmuldoon@redhat.com>

	* gdb.python/py-mi.exp: Add CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD tests and a C++
	compile target.
	* gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp: Add C++ object for
	CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD test.
