Improve gdb::array_view ctor from contiguous containers
While reading the interface of gdb::array_view, I realized that the
constructor that builds an array_view on top of a contiguous container
(such as std::vector, std::array or even gdb::array_view) can be
missused.
Lets consider the following code sample:
struct Parent
{
Parent (int a): a { a } {}
int a;
};
This compiles fine and produces the following output:
Parent {a=1}
Parent {a=2}
Parent {a=3}
which is obviously wrong. There is nowhere in memory a Parent-like
object for which the A member is 2 and this call to print_all<Parent>
shold not compile at all (calling print_all<Child> is however fine).
This comes down to the fact that a Child* is convertible into a Parent*,
and that an array view is constructed to a pointer to the first element
and a size. The valid type pointed to that can be used with this
constructor are restricted using SFINAE, which requires that a
pointer to a member into the underlying container can be converted into a
pointer the array_view's data type.
This patch proposes to change the constraints on the gdb::array_view
ctor which accepts a container now requires that the (decayed) type of
the elements in the container match the (decayed) type of the array_view
being constructed.
Applying this change required minimum adjustment in GDB codebase, which
are also included in this patch.
