Nick Alcock 8b37e7b63e libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctf
This commit adds a long-missing piece of infrastructure to libctf: the
ability to report errors and warnings using all the power of printf,
rather than being restricted to one errno value.  Internally, libctf
calls ctf_err_warn() to add errors and warnings to a list: a new
iterator ctf_errwarning_next() then consumes this list one by one and
hands it to the caller, which can free it.  New errors and warnings are
added until the list is consumed by the caller or the ctf_file_t is
closed, so you can dump them at intervals.  The caller can of course
choose to print only those warnings it wants.  (I am not sure whether we
want objdump, readelf or ld to print warnings or not: right now I'm
printing them, but maybe we only want to print errors?  This entirely
depends on whether warnings are voluminous things describing e.g. the
inability to emit single types because of name clashes or something.
There are no users of this infrastructure yet, so it's hard to say.)

There is no internationalization here yet, but this at least adds a
place where internationalization can be added, to one of
ctf_errwarning_next or ctf_err_warn.

We also provide a new ctf_assert() function which uses this
infrastructure to provide non-fatal assertion failures while emitting an
assert-like string to the caller: to save space and avoid needlessly
duplicating unchanging strings, the assertion test is inlined but the
print-things-out failure case is not.  All assertions in libctf will be
converted to use this machinery in future commits and propagate
assertion-failure errors up, so that the linker in particular cannot be
killed by libctf assertion failures when it could perfectly well just
print warnings and drop the CTF section.

		   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.
