Simon Marchi fcef6471ed gdb: pass/return setting setter/getter scalar values by value
The getter and setter in struct setting always receive and return values
by const reference.  This is not necessary for scalar values (like bool
and int), but more importantly it makes it a bit annoying to write a
getter, you have to use a scratch static variable or something similar
that you can refer to:

  const bool &
  my_getter ()
  {
    static bool value;
    value = function_returning_bool ();
    return value;
  }

Change the getter and setter function signatures to receive and return
value by value instead of by reference, when the underlying data type is
scalar.  This means that string-based settings will still use
references, but all others will be by value.  The getter above would
then be re-written as:

  bool
  my_getter ()
  {
    return function_returning_bool ();
  }

This is useful for a patch later in this series that defines a boolean
setting with a getter and a setter.

		   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.
