[cxx-conversion] Add Record Builder Class

[cxx-conversion] Add Record Builder Class

[Lawrence Crowl]

Add class record_builder to ease construction of records and unions.  Use it
in some appropriate places.

Nathan please review the vxworks changes.

tree.h
	New class record_builder.

tree.c
	Implement record_builder member functions.

asan.c
	Change asan_global_struct to use record_builder.

coverage.c
	Change build_info_type() to use record_builder.  It now takes a
	record_builder as a parameter and returns the tree representing
	the type.

	Change build_fn_info_type() to use record_builder.  It now returns
	the tree representing the type.

	Modify coverage_obj_init() to call them appropriately.

tree-mudflap.c
	Change mf_make_mf_cache_struct_type() to use record_builder.

target.def
	Replace the emutls var_fields hook with object_type hook.  The
	essential difference is that the hook is now responsible for full
	construction of the type, not just adding fields.

targhooks.h
	Replace default_emutls_var_fields() with default_emutls_object_type().

tree-emutls.c
	Replace default_emutls_var_fields() with default_emutls_object_type().
	Use record_builder within default_emutls_object_type().

	Change get_emutls_object_type to use the new target hook.

doc/tm.texi.in
	Replace TARGET_EMUTLS_VAR_FIELDS with TARGET_EMUTLS_OBJECT_TYPE.

doc/tm.texi
	Replace TARGET_EMUTLS_VAR_FIELDS with TARGET_EMUTLS_OBJECT_TYPE.

config/vxworks.c
	Replace vxworks_emutls_var_fields() with vxworks_emutls_object_type().
	Use record_builder within vxworks_emutls_object_type().

Tested on x86_64.  Tested with config-list.mk on vxworks targets.

Hm, this does not look like an idempotent change.   Where did I get lost?

I don't really like unnecessary forward declarations.  But I guess
it's OK, since you are replacing existing ones.

So, here you are changing the signature because the caller used to
create an empty record and now it doesn't need to?  We are going to be
creating it in the constructor, right?

The responsibility for creating the type has moved into the new hook.
The old hook only had responsibility for adding fields.  And changing
the name if it wasn't right.  The new structure has a much clearer
division of responsibility.

Yeah.  I figure applying style changes should be a separate patch.

Thanks.  The patch is OK for the branch.  You can address Nathan's
review after he's back and gets a chance to look at it.

Let me know when the patch is in.  I've got another merge in process.

That's awkward - you want to hide the fact that layout has to happen
and that it has to happen "last".  Just make it a side-effect of
.as_tree ().  Note that add_field want's to return the FIELD_DECL
created, people may want to alter it.

Note that tag_name does not allow the way C++ uses this (it can be
a TYPE_DECL).

Overall I'm not sure this is a good abstraction unless you manage to
make the frontends use it.

I think that is a mistake.  This is a pure gimple facility.  The fact
that it now looks somewhat similar to what front ends do is a
consequence of the state of the gimple type system.

We very specifically do not want to cater to front ends here.  Why do
you think that should be a feature of this interface?

Because it's otherwise almost unused.  No "usual" gimple pass builds
up record types.  What's the point in introducing the abstraction if
most of the users cannot use it?

There may be few users on the gimple side, but you are mixing two
orthogonal issues.  Having a similar facility for FEs may be
desirable, but not *this* one.

Perhaps we could have a parent class provide a more generalized set of
services.  Each front end could use it or derive from it for its own
use.  The gimple version could do the same.  Could that work?

They all share layout_type so they should be able to share the record
builder.

That's why I was proposing a hierarchy.  It's true that there is
shared behaviour we want, but I'm sure that there will be services
needed by FEs that are not required in gimple.

Sometimes you want to construct recursive types, and for that you
need .as_tree to execute before layout.  This feature is used in
the patch.

we should widen the interface.

That is what the .decl_name member function does.

The intent is for use by the middle/back ends constructing code.
As such, it should be using middle/back end types, not front-end
types.

Note that there is no such thing as a "middle-end" or "back-end" type.
