AW: [RFC, patch] ptype bitfields show bitpos and bitsize

["Leutwein Tobias (BEG-PT/ESB1)" <Tobias.Leutwein@de.bosch.com>]

After running the testsuite I saw that

(gdb) ptype int

returns
Attempt to use a type name as an expression

instead of
type = int

The change at eval.c leads to this change of the behaviour.

So I have to make some changes to the patch. If it's possible, I also want to move the content of the c_type_print_base_through_value function to the c_type_print_base function.

I think end of next week I will have the changes.
