[PATCH 1/2] Don't create _Complex type name if there is no target type name

[PATCH 1/2] Don't create _Complex type name if there is no target type name

[Hannes Domani]

This causes gdb to crash in strlen.

Happens if init_complex_type is called for a type created by
dbx_init_float_type in stabsread.c.

	* gdbtypes.c (init_complex_type): Check target type name.

[PATCH 2/2] Remove gdb_assert for TYPE_CODE_METHOD in stabs reader

[Hannes Domani]

It's possible to come across TYPE_CODE_UNDEF at this point in
read_member_functions, which according to a comment in read_type
is used for forward references.

Pushed both, thanks.

I'm not sure how relevant stabs nowadays is, but this crash is a regression
since gdb 9, and the fix is very simple, so maybe we should merge it to
gdb 10 as well?

I think it would be fine.

stabs should not generally be used.
I'm curious what you're using it for.

I pushed this to gdb-10-branch as well, thanks.

At my workplace we still need it for long-term support of some older customer
servers.
