gdb: rank an lvalue argument incompatible for an rvalue parameter
Passing an lvalue argument to a function that takes an rvalue parameter
is not allowed per C++ rules. Consider this function:
int g (int &&x) { return x; }
Calling g as in
int i = 5;
int j = g (i);
is illegal. For instance, GCC 9.2.1 yields
~~~
test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:6:14: error: cannot bind rvalue reference of type ‘int&&’ to
lvalue of type ‘int’
6 | int j = g (i);
| ^
~~~
GDB currently allows this function call:
~~~
(gdb) print g(i)
$1 = 5
~~~
Fix this by ranking an lvalue argument incompatible with an rvalue
parameter. The behavior after this patch is:
~~~
(gdb) print g(i)
Cannot resolve function g to any overloaded instance
~~~
Tested with GCC 9.2.1.
