Dodji Seketeli e2341a939c Bug 25986 - Wrong name of function type used in change report
We have introduced type name caching long ago to speed up operations
involving type names.

Then last year, I was looking at some speed optimization in the
xml-writer and I started playing with the caching to quantify the
speed impact that early caching could have on emitting writting out
the abixml, independantly from the potential accuracy issues that
could have.

And somehow I accidentally committed one of those experimental
patches:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=7699dfc921d248fa6d5cbdbeab9d501b17ef3f52.

This commit reverts that bogus patch.  There should be no speed impact
because the writter now de-duplicates types at writting time by
"simply" writting out the canonical types, as opposed to the naive
approach we were using then.

This fixes the bug reported at
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25986 which shows the
impact of caching the wrong name of the type, which happens when
caching occurs before the type is canonicalized.

	* src/abg-ir.cc (function_type::get_cached_name): Don't cache
	names for non-canonicalized types.
	* tests/data/test-abidiff-exit/test-fun-param-report.txt: Add
	reference output for new test.
	* tests/data/test-abidiff-exit/test-fun-param-v{0,1}.abi: Add new test
	input files.
	* tests/data/test-abidiff-exit/test-fun-param-v{0,1}.c: Add source
	files for the above.
	* tests/data/test-abidiff-exit/test-fun-param-v{0,1}.o: Add
	binaries for the above.

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.
