# This tests some non-standard DWARF that we still expect GDB to be
# able to handle.
#
# The DWARF standard (v5 5.1) says this:
#
#     A base type is represented by a debugging information entry with
#     the tag DW_TAG_base_type.
#
#     A base type entry may have a DW_AT_name attribute whose value is
#     a null-terminated string containing the name of the base type as
#     recognized by the programming language of the compilation unit
#     containing the base type entry.
#
# So the DW_AT_name field for a DW_TAG_base_type is optional.  This
# test provides some basic checking that GDB doesn't crash when
# presented with this situation.
