String collection always used ref32 to fetch the string pointer.  Make it
use ref64 when pointeer size is 64-bit.

This appeared to work on x86_64 since it's a little-endian platform, and
malloc (used in gdb.trace/collection.exp) returns addresses in low 4GB.
Noticed and tested on s390x-ibm-linux-gnu, also tested on
i686-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ax-gdb.c (gen_traced_pop): Use aop_ref64 when appropriate for
	string collection.

Missing space before parens.

Missing space before parens.  I was going to say to
check for == 8 instead so that we don't pessimize the
8/16 bits cases, but sounds better even to factor out
the switch in gen_fetch, so that the ref8/ref16 are covered
as well:

      switch (TYPE_LENGTH (type))
	{
	case 8 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref8);
	  break;
	case 16 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref16);
	  break;
	case 32 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref32);
	  break;
	case 64 / TARGET_CHAR_BIT:
	  ax_simple (ax, aop_ref64);
	  break;

	  /* Either our caller shouldn't have asked us to dereference
	     that pointer (other code's fault), or we're not
	     implementing something we should be (this code's fault).
	     In any case, it's a bug the user shouldn't see.  */
	default:
	  internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__,

WDYT?

Thanks,

Fair enough, ref16 may actually be useful on some tiny platforms, and it 
certainly won't hurt to throw in ref8 as well.  I'll do that.

String collection always used ref32 to fetch the string pointer.  Make it
use gen_fetch instead.

As a side effect, this patch changes dup+const+trace+pop sequence used
for collecting the string's address to a trace_quick opcode.  This
results in a shorter agent expression.

This appeared to work on x86_64 since it's a little-endian platform, and
malloc (used in gdb.trace/collection.exp) returns addresses in low 4GB.
Noticed and tested on s390x-ibm-linux-gnu, also tested on
i686-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ax-gdb.c (gen_traced_pop): Use gen_fetch for string collection.
---
Instead of factoring out the switch, I just delegated to gen_fetch.
Turns out we can shave off a few ops this way, too.  Likewise tested
on s390, s390x, i686, x86_64.

Even better.  This is OK.
