Allow display of negative offsets in print_address_symbolic()
When examining addresses associated with blocks with non-contiguous
address ranges, it's not uncommon to see large positive offsets which,
for some address width, actually represent a smaller negative offset.
Here's an example taken from the test case (using the
dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold executable):
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo+
4294967277>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo+
4294967278>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo+
4294967281>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo+
4294967286>: nop
0x401117 <foo+
4294967287>: pop %rbp
This commit, in conjuction with an earlier patch from this series, causes
cases like the above to be displayed like this (below) instead:
(gdb) x/5i foo_cold
0x40110d <foo_cold>: push %rbp
0x40110e <foo-18>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x401111 <foo-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>
0x401116 <foo-10>: nop
0x401117 <foo-9>: pop %rbp
Note that the address of foo_cold is now (due to another patch) being
displayed as <foo_cold> instead of <foo+BigOffset>. The subsequent
lines are shown as negative offsets from foo.
Disassembly using the "disassemble" command is somewhat affected by
these changes:
Before:
(gdb) disassemble foo_cold
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
Address range 0x401120 to 0x40113b:
0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp

0x000000000040113a <+26>: retq
Address range 0x40110d to 0x401119:

0x0000000000401111 <+-15>: callq 0x401106 <baz>

0x0000000000401117 <+-9>: pop %rbp
0x0000000000401118 <+-8>: retq
End of assembler dump.
After:
(gdb) disassemble foo_cold
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
Address range 0x401120 to 0x40113b:
0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp

0x0000000000401138 <+24>: nop
0x0000000000401139 <+25>: pop %rbp
0x000000000040113a <+26>: retq
Address range 0x40110d to 0x401119:

0x0000000000401117 <-9>: pop %rbp
0x0000000000401118 <-8>: retq
End of assembler dump.
Note that negative offsets are now displayed without the leading "+".
Also, the callq to foo_cold is now displayed as such instead of a callq
to foo with a large positive offset.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* printcmd.c (print_address_symbolic): Print negative offsets.
(build_address_symbolic): Force signed arithmetic when computing
offset.
