Yes, it does fix the problem. Thank you!
However, I don't understand why it's done this way. The incoming
type into this function is already correct AFAICS (well, this time,
I didn't get it when I wrote my first posting, apparently). type
is a TYPE_CODE_PTR to a TYPE_CODE_METHOD to TYPE_CODE_VOID.
So, from my point of view the correct call would just be
addr = unpack_pointer (type, valaddr);
Why isn't type just used as is?
Btw., I've just ran the full c++ testsuite again and using just type shows
no regressions (for xstormy16).
