[PATCH v2 2/2] [PR gdb/22640] ptype: add option to use hexadecimal notation

Lancelot SIX lsix@lancelotsix.com

This commit adds a flag to the ptype command in order to print the
offsets and sizes of struct members using the hexadecimal notation.  The
'x' flag ensures use of the hexadecimal notation while the 'd' flag
ensures use of the decimal notation.  The default is to use decimal
notation.

Before this patch, gdb only uses decimal notation, as pointed out in PR
gdb/22640.

Here is an example of this new behavior with hex output turned on:

    (gdb) ptype /ox struct type_print_options
    /* offset      |    size */  type = struct type_print_options {
    /* 0x0000: 0x0 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int raw : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x1 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_methods : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x2 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_typedefs : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x3 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_offsets : 1;
    /* 0x0000: 0x4 |  0x0004 */    unsigned int print_in_hex : 1;
    /* XXX  3-bit hole       */
    /* XXX  3-byte hole      */
    /* 0x0004      |  0x0004 */    int print_nested_type_limit;
    /* 0x0008      |  0x0008 */    typedef_hash_table *local_typedefs;
    /* 0x0010      |  0x0008 */    typedef_hash_table *global_typedefs;
    /* 0x0018      |  0x0008 */    ext_lang_type_printers *global_printers;

                                   /* total size (bytes):   32 */
                                 }

This patch also adds the 'set print type hex' and 'show print type hex'
commands in order to set and inspect the default behavior regarding the
use of decimal or hexadecimal notation when printing struct sizes and
offsets.

Tested using on x86_64.

---

Since V1:

	- Use more horizontal space to allow 4 hexadecimal digits, or 6
	decimal digits.
	- Bit offsets are also printed in hex.  Arguably this is not necessary
	since this value is lower than TARGET_CHAR_BIT, so for all targets I
	can think of decimal and hexadecimal notations are identical (except
	for the 0x prefix).
	- Use 'd' as flag to force use of decimal display instead of 'X'.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* typeprint.h (struct type_print_options): Add print_in_hex
	flag.
	(struct print_offset_data): Add print_in_hex flag, add a
	constructor accepting a type_print_options* argument.
	* typeprint.c (type_print_raw_options, default_ptype_flags): Set
	default value for print_in_hex.
	(print_offset_data::indentation): Allow more horizontal space.
	(print_offset_data::print_offset_data): Add ctor.
	(print_offset_data::maybe_print_hole, print_offset_data::update):
	Handle the print_in_hex flag.
	(whatis_exp): Handle 'x' and 'd' flags.
	(print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Declare.
	(set_print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Create.
	(show_print_offsets_and_sizes_in_hex): Create.
	(_initialize_typeprint): Update help message for the ptype
	command, register the 'set print type hex' and 'show print type
	hex' commands.
	* c-typeprint.c (c_print_type, c_type_print_base_struct_union)
	(c_type_print_base): Construct the print_offset_data
	object using the type_print_optons parameter.
	* rust-lang.c (rust_language::print_type): Construct the
	print_offset_data object using the type_print_optons parameter.
	* NEWS: Mention the new flags of the ptype command.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* gdb.texinfo (Symbols): Describe the 'x' and 'd' flags of the
	ptype command, describe 'set print type hex' and 'show print
	type hex' commands.  Update 'ptype/o' examples.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/22640
	* gdb.base/ptype-offsets.exp: Add tests to verify the behavior
	of 'ptype/ox' and 'ptype/od'. Check that 'set print type hex'
	changes the default behavior of 'ptype/o'.  Update to take into
	account new horizontal layout.
	* gdb.rust/simple.exp: Update ptype test to check new horizontal
	layout.
	* gdb.rust/union.exp: Same.
