Subject: [patch] Fix internal error on optimized-out values (regression by me)

Hi,

since:
	Re: [patch] Code cleanup: Introduce allocate_optimized_out_value
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-07/msg00327.html
	acfe85f56075910a3ba5e8b76189e0770079b8d1
can occur:
	(gdb) p p->f
	valops.c:1118: internal-error: Unexpected lazy value type.
	A problem internal to GDB has been detected,

in that mail referenced above:
# It is true it would be definitely a bug in a code incompatible with such
# change so one may rather fix that possible regression there.

so this testcase exploits such case.  The problem is formerly the code
allocated (in some cases) optimized out values as non-lazy ones.  Now they are
allocated all as lazy (*) which breaks some code not expecting lazy values.

(*) Such lazy optimized out value still gets silently allocate_value_contents
    by value_fetch_lazy, allocate_value_contents should be suppressed in such
    case; such more radical change has never been made.

Formerly (incl. gdb-7.3) did:
	(gdb) p p->f
	$1 = 0
which was also wrong, ((struct *) <optimized out>)->field should be IMO still
<optimized out>; just it became internal-error now.

GDB usually does require_not_optimized_out throwing error() when it meets any
first <optimized out> value.  I have just produced new optimized value
instead; require_not_optimized_out is not exported and I find it better this
way.

Following the rule that it is better if GDB does something wrong rather then
it throws internal-error to make the patch from July above fully safe one
would have to change allocate_optimized_out_value to allocate everything as
non-lazy.  I find that as a too ugly workaround of the codebase.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora16pre-linux-gnu.


Andre, do you still see the bug even with this patch?


Thanks,
Jan
