Good, thanks for reviewing!  I'll push the series as soon as we've
settled on the self test.

Hm, I'm not quite convinced.  Fooling the test with a broken algorithm
is probably easier with regular test patterns than with pseudo-random
ones.  For instance, consider an implementation that does not advance
the byte position in the source buffer at all.

I do understand your concern about being "deterministic", though.  Thus
I've taken another shot, see the patch below.

Yeah, consistent naming is a good idea.

Sure.  Maybe I was too much into the material and thus considered it
obvious ;-)

Here's the adjusted patch.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Add unit test for copy_bitwise

This adds a unit test for the copy_bitwise function in dwarf2loc.c.
With the old (broken) version of copy_bitwise this test would generate
the following failure message:

(gdb) maintenance selftest
Self test failed: copy_bitwise 11000000 != 10000000 (7+2 -> 0)

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-11-24  Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
	    Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>

	* dwarf2loc.c (bits_to_str, check_copy_bitwise)
	(copy_bitwise_tests): New functions.
	(_initialize_dwarf2loc): Register the new function
	copy_bitwise_tests as a unit test.
	* selftest.c (run_self_tests): Improve the failure message's
	wording and formatting.
