Sample program showing incorrect debug information

$ ~/opensource/llvm-gcc/trunk/install/bin/llvm-gcc -g  -o bad_types bad_types.c
$ gdb bad_types

(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400438: file bad_types.c, line 7.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/jyasskin/tmp/bad_types 

Breakpoint 1, main () at bad_types.c:7
7         struct Foo f = {4, 7};
(gdb) n
8         return 0;
(gdb) p /x f
$1 = {
  bar = 0x4, 
  baz = 0x959e0004
}
(gdb) p &f  
$2 = (struct Foo *) 0x7fff959e9a20
(gdb) p &f.bar
$3 = (short int *) 0x7fff959e9a20
(gdb) p &f.baz
$4 = (int *) 0x7fff959e9a20
(gdb)

Notice that Foo::bar and Foo::baz are claimed to be at the same address despite
being different members.

Needless to say, this makes it very hard to debug programs. You can work around
it by manually computing the offset of the member you want, adding some number
of bytes to a pointer by hand, and then casting it back to the right type, but
that's not really reasonable.

This is an llvm-gcc built from svn r60958. The 2.4 release did not have this
problem.
