Andrew Burgess eb86c5e2e8 gdb: Improve output from "info types" commad
This commit makes two changes to the "info types" command:

First, only use typedef_print for printing typedefs, and use
type_print for printing non-typedef scalar (non-struct) types.  The
result of this is the output for builtin types goes from this:

    typedef double;
    typedef float;
    typedef int;

to this:

    double;
    float;
    int;

which seems to make more sense.

Next GDB no longer matches msymbols as possible type names.  When
looking for function symbols it makes sense to report matching
msymbols from the text sections, and for variables msymbols from the
data/bss sections, but when reporting types GDB would match msymbols
of type absolute.  But I don't see why these are likely to indicate
type names.  As such I've updated the msymbol matching lists in
symtab.c:search_symbols so that when searching in the TYPES_DOMAIN, we
never match any msymbols.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* symtab.c (search_symbols): Adjust msymbol matching type arrays
	so that GDB doesn't match any msymbols when searching in the
	TYPES_DOMAIN.
	(print_symbol_info): Print using typedef_print or type_print based
	on the type of the symbol.  Add updated FIXME comment moved from...
	(_initialize_symtab): ... move and update FIXME comment to above.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/info-types.c: New file.
	* gdb.base/info-types.exp: New file.

		   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.
