    This patch addresses two issues.

    The basic problem is that "(anonymous namespace)" doesn't get entered
    into the symbol table because when dwarf2read.c:new_symbol_full is called
    the DIE has no name (dwarf2_name returns NULL).

    PR 17976: ptype '(anonymous namespace)' should work like any namespace

    PR 17821: perf issue looking up (anonymous namespace)

    gdb/ChangeLog:

        PR c++/17976, symtab/17821
        * cp-namespace.c (cp_search_static_and_baseclasses): New parameter
        is_in_anonymous.  All callers updated.
        (find_symbol_in_baseclass): Ditto.
        (cp_lookup_nested_symbol_1): Ditto.  Don't search all static blocks
        for symbols in an anonymous namespace.
        * dwarf2read.c (namespace_name): Don't call dwarf2_name, fetch
        DW_AT_name directly.
        (dwarf2_name): Convert missing namespace name to
        CP_ANONYMOUS_NAMESPACE_STR.

    gdeb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.cp/anon-ns.exp: Add test for ptype '(anonymous namespace)'.
