-# Test ptype of a class.

-# Different C++ compilers produce different output.  I build up regular
-# expressions piece by piece to accommodate all the compilers that I
-# have seen: gcc 2.95.3, gcc 3.3.2 (ABI 1), gcc 3.4 prerelease (ABI 2);
-# and all the debug formats I have seen: dwarf-2 and stabs+.
-#
-# A complicated class declaration looks like this:
-#
-#   class A : public virtual V {	// re_class
-#     private:
-#       V * _vb$V;			// re_vbptr
-#       int a;				// re_fields
-#
-#     public:				// re_access_methods
-#       A & operator=(A const &);	// re_synth_gcc_2
-#       A(int, A const &);		// ...
-#       A(int);				// ...
-#       virtual int f(void);		// re_methods
-#   }
-#
-# RE_CLASS matches the class declaration.  C++ allows multiple ways of
-# expressing this.
-#
-#   struct ... { private: ... };
-#   class ... { private: ... };
-#   class ... { ... };
-#
-# RE_VBPTR matches the virtual base declarations.  gcc 2.95.3 sometimes
-# emits these, but gcc 3.X.Y never emits these.  The name depends on the
-# debug format.
-#
-# RE_FIELDS matches the data fields of the class.
-# RE_METHODS matches the methods explicitly declared for the class.
-#
-# RE_SYNTH_GCC_2 and RE_SYNTH_GCC_3 match the optional synthetic methods
-# of the class.  gcc -gstabs+ emits these methods, and gcc -gdwarf-2
-# does not.
-#
-# RE_ACCESS_METHODS is an access specifier after RE_FIELDS and before
-# the methods (explicit methods and/or synthetic methods).
-# There is also an RE_ACCESS_FIELDS.
-#
-# When I get HP-UX aCC, I hope that I can just add RE_SYNTH_ACC_NNN.
-#
-# Yet another twist: with gcc v2, ctor and dtor methods have a hidden
-# argument in front, the "in-charge" flag.  With gcc v3, there is no
-# hidden argument; instead, there are multiple object functions for
-# each ctor and dtor.

+# IN_COMMAND and IN_TESTNAME are the command and testname for

+# defaults to IN_COMMAND.
+#
+# IN_KEY is "class" or "struct".  For now, I ignore it, and allow either

+#
+# IN_TAG is the class tag or structure tag.
+#
+# IN_CLASS_TABLE is a list of class information.  Each entry contains a
+# keyword and some values.  The keywords and their values are:
+#
+#   { base "base-declaration" }
+#
+#      the class has a base with the given declaration.
+#
+#   { vbase "name" }
+#
+#      the class has a virtual base pointer with the given name.  this
+#      is for gcc 2.95.3, which emits ptype entries for the virtual base
+#      pointers.  the vbase list includes both indirect and direct
+#      virtual base classes (indeed, a virtual base is usually
+#      indirect), so this information cannot be derived from the base
+#      declarations.
+#
+#   { field "access" "declaration" }
+#
+#      the class has a data field with the given access type and the
+#      given declaration.
+#
+#   { method "access" "declaration" }
+#
+#      the class has a member function with the given access type
+#      and the given declaration.
+#
+# If you test the same class declaration more than once, you can specify
+# IN_CLASS_TABLE as "ibid".  "ibid" means: look for a previous class
+# table that had the same IN_KEY and IN_TAG, and re-use that table.
+#
+# IN_TAIL is the expected text after the close brace, specifically the "*"
+# in "struct { ... } *".  This is an optional parameter.  The default
+# value is "", for no tail.
+#
+# IN_ERRATA_TABLE is a list of errata entries.  See cp_check_errata for the
+# format of the errata table.  Note: the errata entries are not subject to
+# demangler syntax adjustment, so you have to make a bigger table
+# with lines for each output variation.
+# 
+# gdb can vary the output of ptype in several ways:
+#
+# . CLASS/STRUCT
+#
+#   The output can start with either "class" or "struct", depending on
+#   what the symbol table reader in gdb decides.  This is usually
+#   unrelated to the original source code.
+#
+#     dwarf-2  debug info distinguishes class/struct, but gdb ignores it
+#     stabs+   debug info does not distinguish class/struct
+#     hp       debug info distinguishes class/struct, and gdb honors it
+#
+#   I tried to accommodate this with regular expressions such as
+#   "((class|struct) A \{ public:|struct A \{)", but that turns into a
+#   hairy mess because of optional private virtual base pointers and
+#   optional public synthetic operators.  This is the big reason I gave
+#   up on regular expressions and started parsing the output.
+#
+# . REDUNDANT ACCESS SPECIFIER
+#
+#   In "class { private: ... }" or "struct { public: ... }", gdb might
+#   or might not emit a redundant initial access specifier, depending
+#   on the gcc version.
+#
+# . VIRTUAL BASE POINTERS
+#
+#   If a class has virtual bases, either direct or indirect, the class
+#   will have virtual base pointers.  With gcc 2.95.3, gdb prints lines
+#   for these virtual base pointers.  This does not happen with gcc
+#   3.3.4, gcc 3.4.1, or hp acc A.03.45.
+#
+#   I accept these lines.  These lines are optional; but if I see one of
+#   these lines, then I expect to see all of them.
+#
+#   Note: drow considers printing these lines to be a bug in gdb.
+#
+# . SYNTHETIC METHODS
+#
+#   A C++ compiler may synthesize some methods: an assignment
+#   operator, a copy constructor, a constructor, and a destructor.  The
+#   compiler might include debug information for these methods.
+#
+#     dwarf-2  gdb does not show these methods
+#     stabs+   gdb shows these methods
+#     hp       gdb does not show these methods
+#
+#   I accept these methods.  These lines are optional, and any or
+#   all of them might appear, mixed in anywhere in the regular methods.
+#
+#   With gcc v2, the synthetic copy-ctor and ctor have an additional
+#   "int" parameter at the beginning, the "in-charge" flag.
+#
