gdb/amd64: Ignore zero sized fields when calling functions
In some cases passing an argument to a function on amd64, or attempting
to fetch the return value, can trigger an assertion failure within GDB.
An example of a type that would trigger such an error is:
struct foo_t
{
long double a;
struct {
struct {
/* Empty. */
} es1;
} s1;
};
GCC does permit empty structures, so we should probably support this.
The test that exposes this bug is in the next commit along with the
RiscV support.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_classify_aggregate): Ignore zero sized
fields within aggregates.
