Whoops, yes.  Fixed now, and merged, as below.

Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Use gdb:array_view in call_function_by_hand & friends

This replaces a few uses of pointer+length with gdb::array_view, in
call_function_by_hand and related code.

Unfortunately, due to -Wnarrowing, there are places where we can't
brace-initialize an gdb::array_view without an ugly-ish cast.  To
avoid the cast, this patch introduces a gdb::make_array_view function.
Unit tests included.

This patch in isolation may not look so interesting, due to
gdb::make_array_view uses, but I think it's still worth it.  Some of
the gdb::make_array_view calls disappear down the series, and others
could be eliminated with more (non-trivial) gdb::array_view
detangling/conversion (e.g. code around eval_call).  See this as a "we
have to start somewhere" patch.

+   would be ill-formed.
+
+   For example, with:

+
+   You could fix it by writing the somewhat distracting explicit cast:
+
+     foo (1, 2, {values, (size_t) nargs});
+
+   Or by instantiating an array_view explicitly:
+
+     foo (1, 2, gdb::array_view<value *>(values, nargs));
+
+   Or, better, using make_array_view, which has the advantage of
