Dodji Seketeli f86ff3f7a7 Bug 26646 - unexpected declaration-only types
In a version of the kernel binary referred to in this problem report,
the parameter 'skb' of the udp4_hwcsum function, which is of type
"pointer to struct sk_buff", indirectly refers to a pointer to a
declaration-only struct ip_mc_list.

In another version of that kernel binary, the same parameter skb of
the udp4_hwcsum function is still of type "pointer to struct sk_buff",
but in that case, the sk_buff indirectly refers to a pointer to a
fully defined struct ip_mc_list.

The first kernel only contains a decl-only struct ip_mc_list whereas
the second one contains a fully defined struct ip_mc_list.

This problem comes from the fact that in add_or_update_class_type, we
"reuse" the "struct sk_buff" that we've already seen in the same
binary, if any.  Depending on the order in which types are defined in
the debug information, if the DIE for struct sk_buff that refers to a
decl-only struct ip_mc_list has already been "seen" by the
DWARF-reader, then add_or_update_class_type re-uses the IR of that DIE
that's been constructed already; otherwise, the IR for the struct
sk_buff represented by the current DIE is constructed.

This patch fixes the problem by always constructing an IR for the
DIE that is being seen, in add_or_update_class_type.

	* src/abg-dwarf-reader.cc (add_or_update_class_type): Do not reuse
	the IR for a DIE with the same textual representation as the one
	we are seeing now.
	* tests/data/test-annotate/test21-pr19092.so.abi: Adjust.
	* tests/data/test-read-dwarf/test21-pr19092.so.abi: Likewise.

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.
