[Crash-utility] [PATCH] sial: Oops drilldowntype for bool

Hi Luc,

I have a sial script that uses structures that contain members of type
"bool". When I run the script I get:

File ../devices.sial, line 279, Error: Oops drilldowntype

I looked into the sial code and found that the drilldowntype() functions
fails because no "case TYPE_CODE_BOOL" is defined.

Here the break point at sial.c (323):

		default:.
			sial_error("Oops drilldowntype");

Breakpoint 1, drilldowntype (type=0x81f088a8, t=0x808023e8) at
sial.c:323
323				sial_error("Oops drilldowntype");

(gdb) print *type
$1 = {pointer_type = 0x0, reference_type = 0x0, chain = 0x81f088a8, 
  instance_flags = 0, length = 1, main_type = 0x81f088d0}

(gdb) print *type->main_type
$2 = {code = TYPE_CODE_BOOL, flag_unsigned = 1, flag_nosign = 0, 
  flag_stub = 0, flag_target_stub = 0, flag_static = 0, flag_prototyped
= 0, 
  flag_incomplete = 0, flag_varargs = 0, flag_vector = 0, 
  flag_stub_supported = 0, flag_nottext = 0, flag_fixed_instance = 0, 
  flag_objfile_owned = 1, nfields = 0, vptr_fieldno = -1, 
  name = 0x200040d8257 "_Bool", tag_name = 0x0, owner = {objfile =
0x80618e10, 
    gdbarch = 0x80618e10}, target_type = 0x0, fields = 0x0, 
  vptr_basetype = 0x0, type_specific = {cplus_stuff = 0x0, floatformat =
0x0, 
    calling_convention = 0}}

When I add "case TYPE_CODE_BOOL" and handle it like "case TYPE_CODE_INT"
my script works, but I am not sure if that fix is correct.

What do you think?

Michael
