Andrew Burgess 0874fd075b gdb: Represent all languages as sub-classes of language_defn
This commit converts all languages to sub-classes of a language_defn
base class.

The motivation for this change is to make it easier to add new methods
onto languages without having to update all of the individual language
structures.  In the future it might be possible to move more things,
like expression parsing, into the language class(es) for better
encapsulation, however I have no plans to tackle this in the short
term.

This commit sets up a strategy for transitioning from the current
language system, where each language is an instance of the
language_defn structure, to the class hierarchy system.

The plan is to rename the existing language_defn into language_data,
and make this a base class for the new language_defn class, something
like this:

  struct language_data
  {
    ... old language_defn fields here ...
  };

  struct language_defn : public language_data
  {
    language_defn (const language_data d)
      : language_data (d)
    { .... }
  };

Then each existing language, for example ada_language_defn can be
converted into an instance of language_data, and passed into the
constructor of a new language class, something like this:

  language_data ada_language_data =
  {
    ... old ada_language_defn values here ...
  };

  struct ada_language : public language_defn
  {
    ada_language (ada_language_data)
    { .... }
  };

What this means is that immediately after the conversion nothing much
changes.  Every language is now its own class, but all the old
language fields still exist and can be accessed in the same way.

In later commits I will convert function pointers from the old
language_defn structure into real class methods on language_defn, with
overrides on sub-classes where needed.

At this point I imagine that those fields of the old language_defn
structure that contained only data will probably remain as data fields
within the new language_data base structure, it is only the methods
that I plan to change initially.

I tweaked how we manage the list of languages a bit, each language is
now registered as it is created, and this resulted in a small number
of changes in language.c.

Most of the changes in the *-lang.c files are identical.

There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
