Would the following patch be ok to apply?

2004-02-26  J. Brobecker  <brobecker@gnat.com>

        * gdb.cp/class2.cc (empty): New class.
        (refer): New function.
        (main): Declare an object of type empty and use it.
        * gdb.cp/class2.exp: Print the value of an object of type empty.

Tested on x86-linux.
