Keith Seitz 078a020797 C++ compile support
This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature.  It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.

I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing.  See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that.  The tests use this facility extensively.

This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
  I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
  to this "basic" support.  Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
  The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
  Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
  follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
  recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
  I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
  these patches.

The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.

I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion
("debug compile-cplus-types").

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
