Yes, this is true. However, I'd rather not add it at the call sites of
val_print. Instead, I've created a nicer interface to val_print which
shares sanity-checking code with value_print. Most of the places
currently calling val_print can call this instead; a TODO item is to
make all uses of val_print pass the value around.
I went looking at the original location list support. The error() call
in question was simply a goof on my part; I had forgotten about
the VALUE_OPTIMIZED_OUT bits a couple of functions down.
I've checked in this patch instead. Tested by the GDB testsuite on
i686-pc-linux-gnu (no changes); the GDB testsute on arm-eabi using ARM
RVDS (some improvements); and by hand using GCC 3.4 and optimization
(definite improvement).
