Pedro Alves 7c44b49cb6 Introduce gdb::array_view
An array_view is an abstraction that provides a non-owning view over a
sequence of contiguous objects.

A way to put it is that array_view is to std::vector (and std::array
and built-in arrays with rank==1) like std::string_view is to
std::string.

The main intent of array_view is to use it as function input parameter
type, making it possible to pass in any sequence of contiguous
objects, irrespective of whether the objects live on the stack or heap
and what actual container owns them.  Implicit construction from the
element type is supported too, making it easy to call functions that
expect an array of elements when you only have one element (usually on
the stack).  For example:

 struct A { .... };
 void function (gdb::array_view<A> as);

 std::vector<A> std_vec = ...;
 std::array<A, N> std_array = ...;
 A array[] = {...};
 A elem;

 function (std_vec);
 function (std_array);
 function (array);
 function (elem);

Views can be either mutable or const.  A const view is simply created
by specifying a const T as array_view template parameter, in which
case operator[] of non-const array_view objects ends up returning
const references.  (Making the array_view itself const is analogous to
making a pointer itself be const.  I.e., disables re-seating the
view/pointer.)  Normally functions will pass around array_views by
value.

Uses of gdb::array_view (other than the ones in the unit tests) will
be added in a follow up patch.

		   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.
