Adjust the associated fields to match. While we're here, change
some nearby bitfields from "char" to "int" so GDB doesn't bother
showing character literals for them.

This should allow the gdbhelpers script to work with more versions of
GDB and/or build configurations.

The patch does not apply to my tree. The modifier is definitely not
an enum because we apply bit operation to it.

Changing bitfield from "char" to "int" has risk of making the symbol
struct bigger. We don't want that because symbol is a very common
structure for sparse.

Hmm, which tree is yours? I pulled from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git

As for the bit operations, those are perfectly legal for enum values,
and there are two similar enum types defined in this very header:

enum namespace {
        NS_NONE         = 0,
        NS_MACRO        = 1,
        NS_TYPEDEF      = 2,
        NS_STRUCT       = 4,  // Also used for unions and enums.
        NS_LABEL        = 8,
        NS_SYMBOL       = 16,
        NS_ITERATOR     = 32,
        NS_PREPROCESSOR = 64,
        NS_UNDEF        = 128,
        NS_KEYWORD      = 256,
};

enum keyword {
        KW_SPECIFIER    = 1 << 0,
        KW_MODIFIER     = 1 << 1,
        KW_QUALIFIER    = 1 << 2,
        KW_ATTRIBUTE    = 1 << 3,
        KW_TYPEOF       = 1 << 4,
        KW_STATEMENT    = 1 << 5,
        KW_ASM          = 1 << 6,
        KW_MODE         = 1 << 7,
};

When could this actually happen? Here (on i386), pahole says this:

struct symbol {
        enum type                  type:8;               /*     0:24  4 */
        enum namespace             namespace:9;          /*     0:15  4 */
        unsigned int               used:1;               /*     0:14  4 */
        enum sym_attr              attr:2;               /*     0:12  4 */
        unsigned int               enum_member:1;        /*     0:11  4 */
        unsigned int               bound:1;              /*     0:10  4 */

        /* XXX 10 bits hole, try to pack */

        struct position            pos;                  /*     4     8 */

[...]

        union {
                struct basic_block * bb_target;          /*           4 */
                void *             aux;                  /*           4 */
                struct {
                        char       kind;                 /*   116     1 */

                        /* Bitfield combined with previous fields */

                        unsigned int visited:1;          /*   116:23  4 */
                };                                       /*           4 */
        };                                               /*   116     4 */

If you run c2xml on the pahole output, you'll get:

  <symbol type="struct" id="_9" ident="position" file="-"
start-line="10" start-col="8" end-line="21" end-col="2" bit-si
ze="64" alignment="4" offset="0">

in the output, indicating that the 10-bit hole near the beginning is
not due to the use of "unsigned int" instead of "unsigned char" for
the bitfields before the hole, but due to the alignment required for
the "struct position" following the hole.

The "visited" bitfield doesn't cause a problem either, because it is
packed into the same word as the "kind" field, and the other members
of that union both take a word anyway.

Looking it up in K&R 2nd edition, I see that the treatment of
bitfields is almost entirely implementation-defined, so I
unfortunately can't really make any general statements about this --
does anyone (perhaps someone on another architecture) have something
to add?

I have a development tree for sparse at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git;a=summary

> As for the bit operations, those are perfectly legal for enum values,

But they are simple assign, they don't have the following

+       MOD_NONLOCAL    = (MOD_EXTERN | MOD_TOPLEVEL),
+       MOD_STORAGE     = (MOD_AUTO | MOD_REGISTER | MOD_STATIC |
MOD_EXTERN | MOD_INLINE | MOD_TOPLEVEL | MOD_FORCE),
+       MOD_SIGNEDNESS  = (MOD_SIGNED | MOD_UNSIGNED | MOD_EXPLICITLY_SIGNED),
+       MOD_SPECIFIER   = (MOD_CHAR | MOD_SHORT | MOD_LONG |
MOD_LONGLONG | MOD_SIGNEDNESS),
+       MOD_SIZE        = (MOD_CHAR | MOD_SHORT | MOD_LONG | MOD_LONGLONG),
+       MOD_IGNORE      = (MOD_TOPLEVEL | MOD_STORAGE | MOD_ADDRESSABLE |
+                          MOD_ASSIGNED | MOD_USERTYPE | MOD_ACCESSED
| MOD_EXPLICITLY_SIGNED),
+       MOD_PTRINHERIT  = (MOD_VOLATILE | MOD_CONST | MOD_NODEREF | MOD_STORAGE)

Same can apply to pretty much all constant defines. It doesn't mean
that we should replace all constant defines into enum. There is no actual
benefit for people who runs sparse.

You answer yourself, it is implementation defined. Most of the people
just run sparse. They don't benefit from your change. Personally I think
how gdb print them is not a big deal. No worth to risk it.
