When building g++-4.8, we run into:
...
src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:919:5: error: multiple fields in union \
'partial_die_info::<anonymous union>' initialized
...
This is due to:
...
union
{
struct
{
CORE_ADDR lowpc = 0;
CORE_ADDR highpc = 0;
};
ULONGEST ranges_offset;
};
...
The error looks incorrect, given that only one union member is initialized,
and does not reproduce with newer g++.
Nevertheless, work around this by moving the initialization to a constructor.
[ I considered just removing the initialization, with the idea that access
should be guarded by has_pc_info, but I ran into one failure in the testsuite,
for gdb.base/check-psymtab.exp due to add_partial_symbol using lowpc without
checking has_pc_info. ]
Tested on x86_64-linux.
