I am really not sure if what this patch does is good, but it is my best
guess. DW_OP_addr means that there's an constant address provided by
the DWARF bytecode that should be pushed on the stack. That address is
considered skipped by the "op_ptr += addr_size", but it is never read.
uoffset is indeed read just after, without having been assigned first.
So I think the intent is to read the address, it was just omitted.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* compile/compile-loc2c.c (do_compile_dwarf_expr_to_c): Read
address when op is DW_OP_addr.
