Simon Marchi ba18742c3a C++ify xmethod_worker, get rid of VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr)
The initial goal of this patch was to remove the usage of
VEC(xmethod_worker_ptr) and corresponding cleanups.  I ended up having
to  C++ify the xmethod_worker code, to be able to have xmethod_workers
free their data in destructors, and therefore be able to use vectors of
xmethod_worker unique_ptr.

The operations in extension_language_ops that act on one instance of
xmethod_worker (get result type, get args type, invoke) are transformed
to methods of xmethod_worker.  xmethod_worker becomes an abstract base
class with virtual pure methods which python_xmethod_worker implements.
The only xmethod-related operation left in extension_language_ops is
get_matching_xmethod_workers, which returns a list of xmethod_workers.

The changes are relatively straightforward, but here are some notes on
things that may raise eyebrows:

  - I was not really comfortable with the value_of_xmethod function.  At
  first it looks like a simple getter, so I considered making it a
  method of xmethod_worker.  But actually it creates a value and
  transfers the ownership of the xmethod_worker to it.  It would be a
  bit weird and error-prone if calling a method on an object silently
  removed the ownership of the object from the caller.  To reflect the
  behavior more accurately, I renamed it to value_from_xmethod and made
  it accept an rvalue-reference (so the caller knows it gives away the
  ownership).  I noticed the backlink from xmethod_worker to its owning
  value was not used, so I removed it.

  - Some code, like get_matching_xmethod_workers, made each callee fill
  a new vector, which was then merged in the result vector.  I think
  it's safe if we always pass the same vector around, and each
  implementation just appends to it.

  - The clone operation does not seem particularly useful, it is removed
  in the following patch.

		   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.
