[Crash-utility] [PATCH] gdb: print details of unnamed struct and union

Currently gdb's "ptype" command does not print the details of unnamed structure and union deeper than second level in a structure, it prints only "{...}" instead. And crash's "struct" and similar commands also inherit this behavior, so we cannot get the full information of them. To print the details of them, change the show variable when it is an unnamed one like crash-7.x. Without the patch: crash> struct -o page struct page { [0] unsigned long flags; union { struct {...}; struct {...}; ... With the patch: crash> struct -o page struct page { [0] unsigned long flags; union { struct { [8] struct list_head lru; [24] struct address_space *mapping; [32] unsigned long index; [40] unsigned long private; }; struct { [8] dma_addr_t dma_addr; }; ...
