  This patch adds the ability to inspect rvalue reference types and values using
the gdb python module. This is achieved by creating two wrappers for
valpy_reference_value(), using the ReferenceExplorer class to handle the
objects of rvalue reference types and placing necessary checks for a
TYPE_CODE_RVALUE_REF type code next to the checks for a TYPE_CODE_REF type
code.

2016-06-06  Artemiy Volkov  <artemiyv@acm.org>

    PR gdb/14441
    * python/lib/gdb/command/explore.py: Support exploring values
    of rvalue reference types.
    * python/lib/gdb/types.py: Implement get_basic_type() for
    rvalue reference types.
    * python/py-type.c (pyty_codes) <TYPE_CODE_RVALUE_REF>: New
    constant.
    * python/py-value.c (valpy_getitem): Add an rvalue reference
    check.
    (valpy_reference_value): Add new parameter "refcode".
    (valpy_lvalue_reference_value, valpy_rvalue_reference_value):
    New wrappers for valpy_reference_value().
    * python/py-xmethods.c (gdbpy_get_xmethod_result_type)
    (gdbpy_invoke_xmethod): Likewise.

The new Python API needs to be documented in the manual, along with a
corresponding NEWS entry.  

I'd say that gdb's new support for rvalue references would
deserve a NEWS entry of its own too.

Thanks,
