[PATCH] Differentiate empty vs. opaque types

Hi,

attached testcase targets the difference of `struct x;' vs. `struct {} x;' by checking
the DWARF flag `DW_AT_declaration':
# DWARF3: An incomplete structure, union or class type is represented by
# a structure, union or class entry that does not have a byte size attribute
# and that has a DW_AT_declaration attribute.

The attachment then fixes GDB to make the testcase pass.

Patch goes the regression-safe way by introducing OBJF_HAVE_TYPE_STUB currently
being set only by DWARF/DWARF2.  It should be probably also set at least by
STABS but I tested the code only on DWARF2.  Unaware how feasible would be
unconditional TYPE_STUB() dependency nowadays.


Regards,
Jan

	* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_IS_OPAQUE): Empty vs. opaque structures are now
	distinct on the OBJF_HAVE_TYPE_STUB-supported debug targets.
	* objfiles.h (OBJF_HAVE_TYPE_STUB): New flag.
	* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_build_psymtabs): Set OBJF_HAVE_TYPE_STUB.
	* dwarfread.c (dwarf_build_psymtabs): Likewise.

	* gdb.base/type-opaque-lib.c, gdb.base/type-opaque-main.c,
	gdb.base/type-opaque.exp: New files.
