625 Zero-length types can legitimately arise from declarations
626 like 'struct {}' (a GCC extension, not valid ISO C). GDB may
627 also create them when it finds bogus debugging information;
628 for example, in GCC 2.95.4 and binutils 2.11.93.0.2, the
629 STABS BINCL->EXCL compression process can create bad type
630 numbers. GDB reads these as TYPE_CODE_UNDEF types, with zero
631 length. (That bug is actually the only known way to get a
632 zero-length value allocated to a register --- which is what
633 it takes to make it here.)
