Dodji Seketeli cac59a176a Bug 26769 - Fix missing types in abixml output
The symptom of the issue at hand is that sometimes there can be types
missing from the abixml output.  This happens when analysing some C++
code bases.

The core of the issue is the following.  Support we have a type
"struct S" defined somewhere as:

    struct S // #0
    {
      int  dm1;
      char dm2;
    };

    S s;

Suppose that in another translation unit, we have the class 'S' being
extended to add a member type to it:

    struct S // #1
    {
      typedef int dm1_type;
    };

    typedef S::dm1_type Integer;
    Integer something;

When emitting the abixml for the codebase, the definition of the
typedef S::dm1_type can be missing.

Note that in location #1, struct S is considered declaration-only.
It's definition is in another translation unit, in location #0.

So the abixml writer emits the 'struct S' defined in location #0, but
forgets to emit the 'struct S' in #1, which is indirectly used for the
sole purpose of using its member type S::dm1_type.

This patch emits the S::dm1_type type that is mistakenly forgotten
today.

Now that the "struct S" of #1 is also emitted, a tangent problem is
uncovered: S in #0 can be wrongly thought to be equivalent to S in #1,
for ABI purposes
This is because of an ODR-based optimization that is used for C++.
That is, the two struct S can be wrongly considered equivalent just
because they have the same name.  Note that ODR means "One Definition Rule[1]"

This patch removes the ODR-based optimization and thus fixes many of
the issues uncovered by the previous changes.

The patch also uncovered that some non-static variables were sometimes wrongly
being added to the set of exported variables, while libabigail reads
corpora from abixml.  The patch fixes this as well.

[1]: One Definition Rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Definition_Rule

	* include/abg-corpus.h (corpus::{record_canonical_type,
	lookup_canonical_type}): Remove function declarations.
	* src/abg-corpus-priv.h (corpus::priv::canonical_types_): Remove
	data member.
	* src/abg-corpus.cc (corpus::{record_canonical_type,
	lookup_canonical_type}): Remove functions.
	* src/abg-ir.cc (type_eligible_for_odr_based_comparison): Remove
	static function.
	(type_base::get_canonical_type_for): Don't perform the ODR-based
	optimization for C++ anymore.
	* src/abg-reader.cc
	(read_context&::maybe_add_var_to_exported_decls): Don't add a
	variable that hasn't been added to its scope.  Otherwise, it means
	we added a variable that wasn't yet properly constructed.  Also
	add a new overload for var_decl_sptr&.
	(build_var_decl): Do not add the var to its the set of exported
	declaration before we are sure it has been fully constructed and
	added to the scope it belongs.
	(build_class_decl): Only add *static* data members to the list of
	exported declarations.
	(handle_var_decl): A var decl seen here is a global variable
	declaration.  Add it to the list of exported declarations.
	* src/abg-writer.cc (write_context::decl_only_type_is_emitted):
	Constify parameter.
	(write_translation_unit): Do not forget to emit referenced types
	that were maybe not canonicalized.  Also, avoid using noop_deleter
	when it's not necessary.
	(write_namespace_decl): Do not forget to emit canonicalized types
	that are present in namespaces other than the global namespace.
	* tests/runtestslowselfcompare.sh.in: New test that compares
	libabigail.so against its own ABIXML representation.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add the new test runtestslowselfcompare.sh to
	source distribution.  This test is too slow to be run during the
	course of 'make check'.  It takes more than 5 minutes on my slow
	box here.  Rather, it can be run using 'make check-self-compare'.
	I plan to run this before releases now.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
Instrumentation Library.

It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
ABI-relevant artifacts.

The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
called an ABI corpus.

This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare
two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh,
that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences,
and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these
differences.
