  While I was working on this patch

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-09/msg00566.html

to fix a regexp bug in gdb.cp/classes.exp, I also took a look at the 
long-standing failure involving the pmi comparison.  In addition to the 
uninitialized-variable problem noted in the comments (dating back to 
2004!), casting a pointer-to-member to an int and expecting it to have 
(or not have) any particular value seems highly dubious to me in terms 
of correctness and portability.  I also don't think it's representative 
of actual use cases involving pointer-to-member variables in the debugger.

This patch addresses the uninitialized variable and potential 
optimizing-away problems by moving the definition to file scope, and 
changes the test to just printing its value.

OK to commit?
