  This patch adds a print_xml_feature visitor class which turns a C
target description into xml.

An accept function is added to gdbserver tdesc to allow it to use
vistor classes.

Tests are added to maintenance_check_xml_descriptions which takes
each pair of tested descriptions, turns them both into xml, then back
again, and confirms the descriptions still match.

Alan.

i don't really like print_xml_feature::visit_pre being declared in arch/tdesc.h
with different implementations in target-descriptions.c and gdbserver/tdesc.c
while all other visit_* implementations are in arch/tdesc.c.  I would prefere
visit_pre being implemented in arch/tdesc.c, too.  Even when it means to add
some #ifdef GDBSERVER ... #else ... #endif blocks until there is a common tdesc.

Same for tdesc_type::make_gdb_type (patch #5).  But here i would prefer to not
even declare the method for GDBserver, i.e.

struct tdesc_type
{

  [...]

#ifndef GDBSERVER
  virtual type *make_gdb_type (struct gdbarch *gdbarch) const = 0;
#endif
};

The problem i see with implementing stubs calling error is that you cannot find
out you made a mistake until you call the function during run-time.  This gives
room to nasty bugs which could easily be prevented when there is a compile bug.

make_gdb_type and gdbarch shouldn't be put into arch/tdesc.h at all, if
possible.  You can create an sub-class of tdesc_element_visitor in gdb
side, and create the gdb type by visiting these elements, like this,

class gdb_type_creator : public tdesc_element_visitor
{
public:

Thanks for the review!

A common print_xml_feature would require 4 ifdefs, which would be too messy.
I’ll take a look see if I can communise the tdesc_architecture and tdesc_osabi
interfaces - it should be fairly simple to do.
Once done, I should be able to add a common print_xml_feature without any
ifdefs. Hopefully.

….

Nice idea. I can add an extra patch into the series to do this.

Having a common interface would be even better :)

Yeah, Yao's solution is better than mine.

Oh i forgot to tell you, great series.
