Pedro Alves 9c54172556 Make sect_offset and cu_offset strong typedefs instead of structs
A while ago, back when GDB was a C program, the sect_offset and
cu_offset types were made structs in order to prevent incorrect mixing
of those offsets.  Now that we require C++11, we can make them
integers again, while keeping the safety, by exploiting "enum class".
We can add a bit more safety, even, by defining operators that the
types _should_ support, helping making the suspicious uses stand out
more.

Getting at the underlying type is done with the new to_underlying
function added by the previous patch, which also helps better spot
where do we need to step out of the safety net.  Mostly, that's around
parsing the DWARF, and when we print the offset for complaint/debug
purposes.  But there are other occasional uses.

Since we have to define the sect_offset/cu_offset types in a header
anyway, I went ahead and generalized/library-fied the idea of "offset"
types, making it trivial to add more such types if we find a use.  See
common/offset-type.h and the DEFINE_OFFSET_TYPE macro.

I needed a couple generaly-useful preprocessor bits (e.g., yet another
CONCAT implementation), so I started a new common/preprocessor.h file.

I included units tests covering the "offset" types API.  These are
mostly compile-time tests, using SFINAE to check that expressions that
shouldn't compile (e.g., comparing unrelated offset types) really are
invalid and would fail to compile.  This same idea appeared in my
pending enum-flags revamp from a few months ago (though this version
is a bit further modernized compared to what I had posted), and I plan
on reusing the "check valid expression" bits added here in that
series, so I went ahead and defined the CHECK_VALID_EXPR macro in its
own header -- common/valid-expr.h.  I think that's nicer regardless.

I was borderline between calling the new types "offset" types, or
"index" types, BTW.  I stuck with "offset" simply because that's what
we're already calling them, mostly.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	(cu_offset): Now an offset type (strong typedef) instead of a
	struct.

/* Macro that uses SFINAE magic to detect whether the EXPR expression
is either valid or ill-formed, at compile time, without actually
producing compile-time errors. I.e., check that bad uses of the
types (e.g., involving mismatching types) would be caught at
compile time. If the expression is valid, also check whether the
expression has the right type.
EXPR must be defined in terms of some of the template parameters,
so that template substitution failure discards the overload instead
of causing a real compile error. TYPES is thus the list of types
involved in the expression, and TYPENAMES is the same list, but
with each element prefixed by "typename". These are passed as
template parameter types to the templates within the macro.
VALID is a boolean that indicates whether the expression is
supposed to be valid or invalid.
EXPR_TYPE is the expected type of EXPR. Only meaningful iff VALID
is true. If VALID is false, then you must pass "void" as expected
type.
Each invocation of the macro is wrapped in its own namespace to
avoid ODR violations. The generated namespace only includes the
line number, so client code should wrap sets of calls in a
test-specific namespace too, to fully guarantee uniqueness between
the multiple clients in the codebase. */
