Namespace testcases

Namespace testcases

[Elena Zannoni]

David, Daniel

What do you think of pushing the namespaces.exp additions to mainline
gdb?  I would like to mark the failures with kfail and open
corresponding gnats PRs. 

So we can really know where we are....and have the satisfaction of
telling people reporting problems: "yeah, known bug, see PR/1234".

That sounds reasonable to me.  I've got several testcases involving
namespace scope issues, anonymous namespaces, namespace aliases, and
using declarations; I can post an RFA for them on the mainline as soon
as there are PR's for them.  I'll put adding PR's on my To Do list.

Maybe Daniel could come up with some test cases/PR's involving the
fact that GDB doesn't know what namespaces types are defined in.

Good point.

I've filed PR's for everything that comes to mind.  I probably missed
a few subtleties, but it's a start.  Hopefully next week I'll be able
to find some time to clean up the testcases that I currently have on
the branch and file a mainline RFA for them.

Not only can we tell people that, we can blame everything on GCC. :-)

Seriously, maybe now we can start pushing a bit on them.
