Subject: Introduce type::is_array_like and value_to_array
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=84914f598e5d48b78243b7e523804a28a4baf1eb;p=binutils-gdb.git

Introduce type::is_array_like and value_to_array

This adds the type::is_array_like method and the value_to_array
function.

The former can be used to see whether a given type is known to be
"array-like".  This is the currently the case for certain
compiler-generated structure types; in particular both the Ada and
Rust compilers do this.
