[PATCH 0/4] Poison non-POD memset & non-trivially-copyable memcpy/memmove


Here's a version of the hack at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00357.html> that I'm
not shy about proposing to master.

The original idea was to catch invalid initialization of non-POD types
with memset, at compile time.  After posting the above, I thought it'd
be good to catch invalid uses of memcpy/memmove too, in a similar way.

Unlike the version linked above, this version does not use macros.
Instead it simply defines deleted memset/memcpy/memmove overloads.
Yay C++11!

Patch #1 adds the poisoning of invalid memset/memcpy/memmove.

Patches 2-4^W 2-5 [1] fix problems the poisoning detected, except the
"struct inferior", which is already fixed by this other series:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00298.html

[1] another instance just made it into the tree, so I do think it's a
good idea to add the poisoning to master.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 23, along with the struct inferior fix.

  Don't memcpy non-trivially-copyable types: Make enum_flags triv.
    copyable
  Don't memset non-POD types: struct bp_location
  Don't memset non-POD types: struct btrace_insn
  Don't memset non-POD types: struct breakpoint
