+	* dwarfread.c (cu_language):  New local variable to record

+	* dwarfread.c (set_cu_language):  New local function to decode

+	* dwarfread.c (synthesize_typedef):  Add local function to
+	synthesize a typedef for C++ classes, structs, unions, and
+	enumerations.
+	* dwarfread.c (read_structure_scope):  Synthesize typedefs
+	for C++ classes, structs and unions.
+	* dwarfread.c (read_enumeration):  Synthesize typedefs for
+	C++ enumerations.
+	* dwarfread.c (read_file_scope):   Call set_cu_language to
+	record language for current compilation unit.  After symtab
+	is built, save this recorded language.
+	* dwarfread.c (process_dies, add_partial_symbol, struct_type,
+	scan_partial_symbols, new_symbol):  Recognize TAG_class_type.
+	* dwarfread.c (add_partial_symbol):  Synthesize partial symbol
+	typedefs for C++ classes, structs, unions, and enumerations.

+	* dwarfread.c (scan_partial_symbols):  Call add_enum_psymbol here

+	* dwarfread.c (add_partial_symbol):  Combine TAG_enumeration_type
+	case with class, struct, and union type cases, now that they are
+	the same.  Remove tests for non-NULL name attributes, now done
+	by callers.
+	* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_CODE_CLASS):  Add type for C++ classes, but
+	treat as alias for TYPE_CODE_STRUCT for now.
