[RFA] varobj.c c++ fixes

[Keith Seitz <keiths at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

I apologize ahead of time for dumping this mega patch on the maintainers,
but, well, when C++ doesn't work, it just doesn't work. I've tried to keep
varobj patches small, but I sorta got carried away with making this work.

If it is desired that these changes be further broken down, let me know,
and I will try to accomplish this.

Anyway, this megapatch fixes varobj.c's handling of c++. I don't know
whether c++ was broken due to the new v3 abi or bitrot, but it didn't work
very well at all.

I've tried to annotate the heck out of changes in the ChangeLog, but if
I've failed to adequately communicate a change's intent, please let me
know.

I've tested this pretty thoroughly on linux, cygwin, and solaris. All of
Insight's c++ varobj tests now pass, too, and there are no test result
changes from mi with and without this test. (mi does not test c++ varobj)

I've tested this on Cygwin, solaris2.5.1, linux, and (what I
could) aix4.3.3.

ChangeLog
2002-01-07  Keith Seitz  <keiths@redhat.com>

        * varobj.c (varobj_set_value): Make sure that there were no
        errors evaluating the object before attempting to set its
        value.
        value_cast now properly adjusts VALUE_ADDRESS for baseclasses,
        so this offset adjustment is no longer necessary.
        (create_child): Don't set the error flag if the child is
        a CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD.
        (value_of_child): If value_fetch_lazy fails, return NULL
        so that callers will be notified that an error occurred.
        (c_value_of_variable): Delay check of variable's validity
        until later. We actually want all structs and unions to have
        the value "{...}".
        Do not return "???" for variables which could not be evaluated.
        This error condition must be returned to the caller so that it
        can get the error condition from gdb.
        (cplus_name_of_child): Adjust index for vptr before figuring
        out the name of the child.
        (cplus_value_of_child): If a child's (real) parent is not valid,
        don't even bother trying to give a value for it. Just return
        an error. Change all instances in this function.
        (cplus_type_of_child): If our parent is one of the "fake"
        parents, we need to get at the type of the real parent, and
        derive the child's true type using this information.
