Committed: gdbhooks.py: Implement a prettyprinter for vec<>*

[David Malcolm]

I've committed the attached to trunk as r205086, implementing support in
gdb for prettyprinting gcc's vec<>* types.


commit 0c55e3277d41a47e23178d05c6779a683145febd
Author: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com>

    gdbhooks.py: Implement a prettyprinter for vec<>*
    
    gcc/
    	* gdbhooks.py (VecPrinter): New class, for prettyprinting pointers
    	to "vec<>" instances.
    	(build_pretty_printer): Register the vec<>* prettyprinter.

+vec<> pointers are printed as the address followed by the elements in
+braces.  Here's a length 2 vec:
+  (gdb) p bb->preds
+  $18 = 0x7ffff0428b68 = {<edge 0x7ffff044d380 (3 -> 5)>, <edge 0x7ffff044d3b8 (4 -> 5)>}

+  (gdb) p bb->succs
+  $19 = 0x7ffff0428bb8 = {<edge 0x7ffff044d3f0 (5 -> EXIT)>}
+
+You cannot yet use array notation [] to access the elements within the
+vector: attempting to do so instead gives you the vec itself (for vec[0]),
+or a (probably) invalid cast to vec<> for the memory after the vec (for
+vec[1] onwards).
+
+Instead (for now) you must access m_vecdata:
+  (gdb) p bb->preds->m_vecdata[0]
+  $20 = <edge 0x7ffff044d380 (3 -> 5)>
+  (gdb) p bb->preds->m_vecdata[1]
+  $21 = <edge 0x7ffff044d3b8 (4 -> 5)>
