Do not expose stub types to Python
dwarf2read.c will create stub types for Ada "Taft Amendment" types. These stub types can currently be exposed to Python code, where they show up as TYPE_CODE_VOID types (but that, mysteriously, can sometimes be used in other ways). While it's possible to work with such types by using strip_typedefs, this seemed unpleasant to me. This patch takes another approach instead, which is to try not to expose stub types to Python users. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-09-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * python/py-type.c (type_to_type_object): Call check_typedef for stub types. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2019-09-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/py_taft.exp: New file. * gdb.ada/py_taft/main.adb: New file. * gdb.ada/py_taft/pkg.adb: New file. * gdb.ada/py_taft/pkg.ads: New file.
