Subject: [commit] Avoid builtin_type_int during type construction
Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:41:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071003204110.GA29601@caradoc.them.org> (raw)

I wanted to construct a new type during gdbarch initialization and
ran into two problems caused by the use of builtin_type_int, which
is now a macro referencing current_gdbarch.

Every range type created uses builtin_type_int as the type of its
fields (which hold the range's endpoints).  There's an unclear
FIXME here.  The use of int isn't necessary; nothing ever looks at the
types of these fields, and the comments in gdbtypes.h suggest that
their types are unused.

And every vector type is an array using int as its index type.  Since
vectors are small arrays of constant size, there's no worry about this
type; int32 works just as well.

Tested on x86_64-linux and committed.

	* gdbtypes.c (create_range_type): Do not set TYPE_FIELD_TYPE for the
	bounds.
	(init_vector_type): Use builtin_type_int32.
