compile: New 'compile print'
It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler.  There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation.  But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.

I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.

There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
	https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

Support for the GDB '@' operator to create arrays has been submitted for GCC:
