  TYPE_TAG_NAME has been an occasional source of confusion and bugs.  It
seems to me that it is only useful for C and C++ -- but even there,
not so much, because at least with DWARF there doesn't seem to be any
way to wind up with a type where the name and the tag name are both
non-NULL and different.

So, this patch removes TYPE_TAG_NAME entirely.  This should save a
little memory, but more importantly, it simplifies this part of gdb.

A few minor test suite adjustments were needed.  In some situations
the new code does not yield identical output to the old code.

Oh, ChangeLogs... Once again I wonder if "update all callers" would have saved you quite a bit of busywork?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but why was language_minimal necessary here? A small comment might be appropriate?
[I think I can already guess the heinous reason...] Do you know if there is a test case that specifically covers this block with language_minimal?

Good riddance! I never did understand the "except by poorly designed C++ code" comment.

The above three code snippets suggest the introduction of a type_tag_name (struct type *) convenience function might be justified, but I am not going to request any such change.

Warning: I am not a maintainer, ... You know the rest of that drill. :-)

I think in this case, I added language_minimal on the theory that it is
"C-like".  I don't think there's a test case.

I can add a comment, and a test case wouldn't be too hard either.

Keith> Good riddance! I never did understand the "except by poorly

Haha, me neither.  I always considered it a critique of some other code
elsewhere in gdb (perhaps long since removed) but who knows.

Maybe I should have investigated this one more deeply?
I dunno.  The change seemed to make sense to me so I just moved on.

Seeing "language_minimal" caught me off guard. A comment would more than satisfy me.

I agree. My rhetorical "question" was really more a statement of disbelief. Things like this seem to catch me by surprise every so often -- sometimes more often than not.
