[gdb/symtab] Factor out type::{alloc_fields,copy_fields}
After finding this code in buildsym_compunit::finish_block_internal:
...
ftype->set_fields
((struct field *)
TYPE_ALLOC (ftype, nparams * sizeof (struct field)));
...
and fixing PR30810 by using TYPE_ZALLOC, I wondered if there were more
locations that needed fixing.
I decided to make things easier to spot by factoring out a new function
alloc_fields:
...
/* Allocate the fields array of this type, with NFIELDS elements. If INIT,
zero-initialize the allocated memory. */
void
type::alloc_fields (unsigned int nfields, bool init = true);
...
where:
- a regular use would be "alloc_fields (nfields)", and
- an exceptional use that needed no initialization would be
"alloc_fields (nfields, false)".
Pretty soon I discovered that most of the latter cases are due to
initialization by memcpy, so I added two variants of copy_fields as well.
After this rewrite there are 8 uses of set_fields left:
...
gdb/coffread.c: type->set_fields (nullptr);
gdb/coffread.c: type->set_fields (nullptr);
gdb/coffread.c: type->set_fields (nullptr);
gdb/eval.c: type->set_fields
gdb/gdbtypes.c: type->set_fields (args);
gdb/gdbtypes.c: t->set_fields (XRESIZEVEC (struct field, t->fields (),
gdb/dwarf2/read.c: type->set_fields (new_fields);
gdb/dwarf2/read.c: sub_type->set_fields (sub_type->fields () + 1);
...
These fall into the following categories:
- set to nullptr (coffread.c),
- type not owned by objfile or gdbarch (eval.c), and
- modifying an existing fields array, like adding an element at the end or
dropping an element at the start (the rest).
Tested on x86_64-linux.
