  FreeBSD's native target uses linked-lists to keep track of pending fork
events and fake vfork done events.  Replace the first list with std::list
and the second with std::forward_list.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* fbsd-nat.c (struct fbsd_fork_info): Remove.
	(fbsd_pending_children): Use std::list.
	(fbsd_remember_child): Likewise.
	(fbsd_is_child_pending): Likewise.
	(fbsd_pending_vfork_done): Use std::forward_list.
	(fbsd_add_vfork_done): Likewise.
	(fbsd_is_vfork_done_pending): Likewise.
	(fbsd_next_vfork_done): Likewise.

Can't this be a forward_list as well?

The series LGTM otherwise.

Not trivially.  fbsd_is_child_pending has to walk the list looking for a
specific PID and remove that specific list entry (not always the first
entry).  Right now this is using the following loop:

   for (auto it = fbsd_pending_children.begin ();
       it != fbsd_pending_children.end (); it++)
     if (it->pid () == pid)
       {
         ptid_t ptid = *it;
         fbsd_pending_children.erase (it);
         return ptid;
       }
   return null_ptid;

I'm not sure if it's legal to do something like this for a forward_list:

   for (auto it = fbsd_pending_children.before_begin ();
        it + 1 != fbsd_pending_children.end (); it++)
    if ((it + 1)->pid () == pid)
       {
         ptid_t ptid = *(it + 1);
         fbsd_pending_childern.erase_after (it);
         return ptid;
       }
   return null_ptid;

Even if it is legal, I'm not sure it is more readable.  These lists should
generally be quite small, so I think readability is more important than
optimization in this case.

Ah, ok.  I thought it could be done trivially, but I can't easily 
build-test on FreeBSD right now.

I agree with you.
