gdb: Fix numerical field extraction for target description "flags"
The "val_print_type_code_flags ()" function is responsible for
extraction of fields for "flags" data type. These data types are
used when describing a custom register type in a target description
XML. The logic used for the extraction though is not sound:
unsigned field_len = TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, field);
ULONGEST field_val
= val >> (TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field) - field_len + 1);
TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE: The bit length of the field to be extracted.
TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS: The starting position of the field; 0 is LSB.
val: The register value.
Imagine you have a field that starts at position 1 and its length
is 4 bits. According to the third line of the code snippet the
shifting right would become "val >> -2", or "val >> 0xfff...fe"
to be precise. That will result in a "field_val" of 0.
The correct extraction should be:
ULONGEST field_val = val >> TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, field);
The rest of the algorithm that masks out the higher bits is OK.
