[PATCH RFA] New constvars.exp tests

[Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>]

I am about to submit a patch which causes ptype to print a struct with
qualifiers correctly.  E.g, for the "crass" test, gdb currently
exhibits the following behavior:

    (gdb) ptype crass
    type = struct crass {
	char * constptr;
    }

This is incorrect because gdb failed to print a space in between
"const" and "ptr".

Unfortunately, if you don't use Dwarf 2, you'll simply end up seeing

    type = struct crass {
	char *ptr;
    }

...which is also wrong, but not unexpected (hence the xfail).

For the "crisp" test, gdb currently does the following:

    (gdb) ptype crisp
    type = struct crisp {
	char * const*ptr;
    }

Here is what I regard to be the correct behavior for these commands:

    (gdb) ptype crass
    type = struct crass {
	char * const ptr;
    }
    (gdb) ptype crisp
    type = struct crisp {
	char * const *ptr;
    }

Okay?
 
	* gdb.base/constvars.c (struct crass, struct crisp): New structs.
	* gdb.base/constvars.exp (ptype crass, ptype crisp): New tests.
