Dodji Seketeli 5eb4d7627a Bug 25661 - Support data member replacement by anonymous data member
We ought to detect when a data member is replaced by an anonymous data
member in a way that doesn't change the ABI in an incompatible way,
especially when that change is non equivocal.

For instance, consider this ABI-visible struct:

    struct S
    {
      int a;
    };

Now, consider that it's changed into:

    struct S
    {
      union
      {
	int a;
	char b;
      };
    };

Stricto sensu, the bit-layout of struct S doesn't change and so that
change isn't ABI-incompatible.

The current version of libabigail however flags that change as a
/potential/ issue and asks the user for further review.  It appears
that this class of changes is frequent enough to be annoying,
especially in semi-automatic ABI compliance checking setups where we
want the least possible "false positives".

This patch detects that kind of change patterns where a data member is
replaced by an anonymous data member in a benign way, in terms of ABI.

So now let's look at a more complicated example where an ABI-visible
type looks like:

struct S
{
  int a;
  int b;
  int c;
};

Now suppose that type was changed into:

struct S
{
  union
  {
    int tag[3];
    struct
    {
      int a;
      int b;
      int c;
    };
  };
};

The patch allows abidiff to recognise that kind of pattern, filter out
the detected change and report by default that the two binaries are
ABI compatible.

Here are the output that we'd get:

$ abidiff test-v0.o test-v1.o
Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed (1 filtered out), 0 Added function
Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

When asked to show the detailed of the filtered out changes, we get:

$ abidiff --harmless test-v0.o test-v1.o
Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 1 Changed, 0 Added function
Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

1 function with some indirect sub-type change:

  [C] 'function void foo(S*)' at test-v1.cc:18:1 has some indirect sub-type changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'S*' has sub-type changes:
      in pointed to type 'struct S' at test-v1.cc:1:1:
        type size hasn't changed
        data members 'S::a', 'S::b', 'S::c' were replaced by anonymous data member:
          'union {int tag[3]; struct {int a; int b; int c;};}'

And using the leaf-node reporter, that would give:

$ abidiff --leaf-changes-only --harmless test-v0.o test-v1.o
Leaf changes summary: 1 artifact changed
Changed leaf types summary: 1 leaf type changed
Removed/Changed/Added functions summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added function
Removed/Changed/Added variables summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

'struct S at test-v0.cc:1:1' changed:
  type size hasn't changed
  data members 'S::a', 'S::b', 'S::c' were replaced by anonymous data member:
    'union {int tag[3]; struct {int a; int b; int c;};}'
