;; Backport test for RHBZ 1976887 (Kevin Buettner).

Test case reproducing PR28030 bug

The original reproducer for PR28030 required use of a specific
compiler version - gcc-c++-11.1.1-3.fc34 is mentioned in the PR,
though it seems probable that other gcc versions might also be able to
reproduce the bug as well.  This commit introduces a test case which,
using the DWARF assembler, provides a reproducer which is independent
of the compiler version.  (Well, it'll work with whatever compilers
the DWARF assembler works with.)

To the best of my knowledge, it's also the first test case which uses
the DWARF assembler to provide debug info for a shared object.  That
being the case, I provided more than the usual commentary which should
allow this case to be used as a template when a combo shared
library / DWARF assembler test case is required in the future.

I provide some details regarding the bug in a comment near the
beginning of locexpr-dml.exp.

This problem was difficult to reproduce; I found myself constantly
referring to the backtrace while trying to figure out what (else) I
might be missing while trying to create a reproducer.  Below is a
partial backtrace which I include for posterity.

I'll note a few points regarding this backtrace:

Frame #1 is where the internal error occurs.  It's caused by an
unhandled case for FIELD_LOC_KIND_DWARF_BLOCK.  The fix for this bug
adds support for this case.

Frame #22 - it's a partial backtrace - shows that GDB is attempting to
(re)run the program.  You can see the exact command sequence that was
used for reproducing this problem in the PR (at
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28030), but in a
nutshell, after starting the program and advancing to the appropriate
source line, GDB was asked to step into libstdc++; a "finish" command
was issued, returning a value.  The fact that a value was returned is
very important.  GDB was then used to step back into libstdc++.  A
breakpoint was set on a source line in the library after which a "run"
command was issued.

Frame #19 shows a call to objfile_purge_solibs.  It's aptly named.

Frame #7 is a call to the destructor for one of the objfile solibs; it
turned out to be the one for libstdc++.

Frames #6 thru #3 show various value preservation frames.  If you look
at preserve_values() in gdb/value.c, the value history is preserved
first, followed by internal variables, followed by values for the
extension languages (python and guile).

+# This test case uses the DWARF assembler to reproduce the problem
+# described by PR28030.  The bug turned out to be that
+# FIELD_LOC_KIND_DWARF_BLOCK was not handled when recursively copying
+# a value's type when preserving the value history during the freeing
+# up of objfiles associated with a shared object.  (Yes, figuring out
+# how to make this happen in a concise test case turned out to be
+# challenging.)
+#
+# The following elements proved to be necessary for reproducing the
+# problem:
+#
+# 1) A location expression needed to be used with
+#    DW_AT_data_member_location rather than a simple offset.
+#    Moreover, this location expression needed to use opcodes
+#    which GDB's DWARF reader could not convert to a simple
+#    offset.  (Note, however, that GDB could probably be improved
+#    to handle the opcodes chosen for this test; if decode_locdesc()
+#    in dwarf2/read.c is ever updated to handle both DW_OP_pick and
+#    DW_OP_drop, then this test could end up passing even if
+#    the bug it's intended to test has not been fixed.)
+#
+# 2) The debug info containing the above DWARF info needed
+#    to be associated with a shared object since the problem
+#    occurred while GDB was preserving values during the
+#    purging of shared objects.
+#
+# 3) After performing some simple gdb commands, the program is
+#    run again.  In the course of running the objfile destructor
+#    associated with the shared object, values are preserved
+#    along with their types.  As noted earlier, it was during
+#    the recursive type copy that the bug was observed.
+#
+# Therefore, due to #2 above, this test case creates debug info
+# which is then used by a shared object.
