The testcase is assuming that the parameter being watched isn't being
modified. But the way the test program is written, this is not true
at all. So this changes fixes the code to still reference the variable,
but in a way that does not modify its value.
gdb/testsuite:
* gdb.ada/watch_arg/pck.ads, gdb.ada/watch_arg/pck.adb: New files.
* gdb.ada/watch_arg/watch.adb: Adjust code to avoid modification
of parameter X in procedure Foo.
Otherwise, the compiler does not generate any debug info for them.
This fixes 3 FAILs:

FAIL: gdb.ada/homonym.exp: ptype local_type_subtype at BREAK_2
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

The ada-lang.c:compare_names function returns the wrong value
when the first string starts with the same contents as the second
string, followed by '_' and then some characters that do not make
a symbol name suffix. For instance:
string1 = "generics__test_generics__instance__print"
string2 = "generics__test_generics"
In that case, compare_names (string1, string2) return -1, when
clearly, string1 is greater than string2.
A consequence of this problem is that GDB may fail to lookup
"generics.test_generics" from our partial symtabs, because
partial symbols are ordered by strcmp_iw_ordered:
(gdb) b generics.test_generics
Function "generics.test_generics" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (compare_names): Fix wrong return value in case
string1 starts with the same contents as string2, followed
by an underscore that do not start a symbol name suffix.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/fullname_bp: New testcase.
The read_frame_register_value function as it was implemented introduced
a regression on big-endian targets. The problem appears when trying to
get the value of an entity stored inside a register, and when the size
of the entity is smaller than the size of the register. In that case,
we were always reading the first N bytes of the register, which is wrong
for big-endian architectures, where we need to read the last N bytes of
the register.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* findvar.c (read_frame_register_value): Read correct bytes from
register on big-endian architectures.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/small_reg_param: New testcase.
When using the new -ada-task-info command with an argument,
the output would say that there are N entries in the returned
table, (where N is the total number of tasks present in the inferior).
But, in fact, the table would only contain at most 1 entry.
This patch fixes this by properly computing the number of
tasks being displayed before giving it to the uiout.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info): Fix computation of
number of tasks displayed in command output.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_task_info/task_switch.adb: New file.
* gdb.ada/mi_task_info.exp: New file.
This is in preparation for providing a GDB/MI equivalent of
the `info tasks' command. The previous implementation was using
various printf commands to generate the command output, which
does not work at all if we want to use that same code to generate
the result for that new GDB/MI command.
This patch thus re-implements the `info tasks' command (with no
arguments) in a way that makes it GDB/MI friendly.
There is an additional hicup, which is the fact that the `info tasks'
command displays a completely different type of output when a task
ID is given. For instance:
(gdb) info task 2
Ada Task: 0x644d20
Name: my_callee
Thread: 0
LWP: 0x5809
Parent: 1 (main_task)
Base Priority: 48
State: Blocked in accept or select with terminate
The above output is better when in CLI mode, but really not
what we want when in GDB/MI mode. In GDB/MI mode, we want to
follow what the `-thread-info' command does when a task-id
is given as an argument, which is to produce the same table,
but with only one element/task in it.
For compatibility as well as practical reasons, we do not want
to change the output of the `info task TASKNO' command when in
CLI mode. But it's easy to preserve this behavior while providing
the desirable output when in GDB/MI mode. For this, the function
used to generated the `info tasks' output has been enhanced to take
an argument interpreted as a string. The CLI command knows to never
provide that argument, while the GDB/MI command will pass one if
provided by the user.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info): New function, merging
short_task_info and info_tasks together. Reimplement using
ui-out instead of printing to stdout directly. Move the code
building and checking the task list here, instead of leaving it
in info_tasks_command.
(info_task): Move the code building and checking the task
list here, instead of leaving it in info_tasks_command.
(info_tasks_command): Delete code building and checking
the task list - moved elsewhere. Update calls to info_tasks
and info_task.
One of the minor changes the switch caused is the introduction
of a space between the "current" column, and the task "ID"
column, which wasn't there before. This matches what we do
in the "info threads" command, so I kept that change. This
required an adjustment in the testsuite, however...
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/tasks.exp: Make the expected output for
the `info tasks' tests more resilient to spacing
changes.
Temporary catchpoints on Ada exceptions are now displayed as "Temporary
catchpoint" as opposed to just "Catchpoint". This is cosmetic only, but
in line with what's done for other catchpoints as well as breakpoints.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (print_it_exception): Print temporary catchpoints
as "Temporary catchpoint".
(print_mention_exception): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp: Add temporary catchpoint tests.
When trying to print the address of a non-packed array, GDB
correctly prints the type name and address:
(gdb) print &var
$2 = (access pa.var) 0xbffff1d8
However, it is behaving differently when dealing with a packed
array:
(gdb) p &var
(access array (4 .. 8) of boolean <packed: 1-bit elements>) (4 =>
false, false, false, true, false)
The type description isn't all that bad, but GDB shouldn't be
printing the array value!
This patch fixes the `print` and `ptype` command on packed and
non-packed array. It also fixes a gdb.ada test to match with
the new ouput.
gdb/ChangeLog (Jean-Charles Delay):
* ada-typeprint.c (ada_print_type): Fix both PAD type and
pointer to constrained packed array type output.
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Fix pointer to constrained
packed array output.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog (Jean-Charles Delay):
* gdb.ada/packed_array.exp: Fix expected outout.
Array bounds were not correctly displayed when the SHOW parameter of
print_type functions is set to -1. This shows up in the following
type of situation, where we have a declaration as follow:
Anon_Array_Int_Obj : array (1..10) of Integer := (others => 8);
In GDB/MI mode, trying to print the type info for our array object
yields:
(gdb) -var-create ai 0 Anon_Array_Int_Obj
(gdb) -var-info-type ai
^done,type="array (...) of integer"
The actual bounds are missing. Contrast this with what happens
when in GDB/CLI mode:
(gdb) ptype Anon_Array_Int_Obj
type = array (1 .. 10) of integer
This patch fixes array type printing accordingly. And as it turns
out, it also improves the output for one of the tests already present,
so it shows that it's not just the GDB/MI mode that's affected.
gdb/ChangeLog (Jean-Charles Delay):
* ada-typeprint.c (print_array_type): removed if condition on show
being negative for bounds printing.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog (Jean-Charles Delay):
* gdb.ada/packed_array.exp: fixed expected output.
This is to avoid an unnecessary multiple-choice menu for an
expression involving an enumeral declared in two types, when
the second type is an identical copy of the first type. This
happens in the following situation:
type Color is (Black, Red, Green, Blue, White);
type RGB_Color is new Color range Red .. Blue;
In that case, an implict type is created, and is used as the base
type for type RGB_Color. This base type is a copy of type Color.
We've added some extensive comments explaining the situation and
our approach further.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_identical_enum_types_p): New function.
(symbols_are_identical_enums): New function.
(remove_extra_symbols): Do nothing if NSYMS < 2.
Use symbols_are_identical_enums.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/same_enum: New testcase.
If we evaluate an expression that results in a value that is a typedef
to pointer, then the debugger fails to print the type description
before printing the actual value:
(gdb) print e.plan(1)
$1 = 0x0
The expected output is:
(gdb) print e.plan(1)
$1 = (access integer) 0x0
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_value_print): Handle typedefs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/ptr_typedef: New testcase.
If we declare a type as being an access to array type, and then
declare a variable of that type, for instance:
type Some_Array is array [...];
type Array_Access is access all Some_Array;
Table : Array_Access := [...];
The variable "Table" may be defined in the debugging information
as being a typedef to the array pointer type. In the past, it was
defined directly as the array pointer type, but this has been changed
to make sure that the typedef type gets used.
If the typedef type wasn't used, it would allow the compiler to stop
emitting that typedef type when compiling with
-feliminate-unused-debug-types. The removal of this typedef would
be a problem, because GDB relies on the typedef to create symbols
for pointer types, and without it, we would no longer be able to
do "ptype array_access".
This patch helps prevent incorrect output or even crashes when that
extra typedef layer is used.
The testing is already mostly covered by arrayptr.exp, but I still
added a 'ptype' test, just for good measure.
gdb/ChangeLog: (Eric Botcazou)

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog (Joel Brobecker):
* gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: Add ptype test.
Consider the following type:
type Char_Enum_Type is ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D');
If the compiler generates a Char_Enum_Type typedef in the debugging
information, the debugger fails in the following case:
(gdb) p Char_Enum_Type'('B')
$1 = 66
For our type, the underlying value of 'B' is actually 1, not 66
(ASCII 'B'). We are failing this case because we were not handling
typedef to enum types before. This patch fixes this.

This rewrites the code generating the Ada exception catchpoint hit
notification for both the GDB/MI case as well as the non-MI case,
by using the relevant ui_out_* functions to generate the output.
the MI notifications for Ada exception catchpoints now include
the stop reason, and the breakpoint "disp", much like other breakpoint
events do. It also introduces a new field "exception-name" for
exception catchpoints (excluding "failed assertion catchpoints,
where we just want to know that it was a failed assertion).

When ada-lang transforms an array descriptor type (an XUP structure)
into an array type, the size of the array type is computed by using
the element size, and multiplying it by the number of elements in
that array. This does not work, however, for packed arrays, where
the *packed* size in bits needs to be used.
This usually does not cause any problem, because we end up reading
more memory than needed. However, we have observed on LynxOS
a memory error while trying to read the entire array, because
the larger-than-needed read tried to read past the end of the stack
into inaccessible memory.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly computing the array size
in bytes in the case of packed arrays.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_type_of_array): Fix the size of the array
in the case of an unconstrained packed array.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/packed_array: Expand testcase to test printing of
unconstrained packed array.
This command does not work when testing with GDBserver. So this patch
changes the few tests that do not specifically test the `start' command,
and replace calls to gdb_start_cmd with the usual `run LOC' approach.
For the couple of testcases that do really test the `start' command,
do an early return as UNTESTED instead of running this testcase.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

Trying to print a variable defined as an access to an unconstrained
array:
type String_Access is access String;
S1 : String_Access;
If that variable is null, then GDB prints its value in an odd way:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) (null)
^^^^^^
This patch changes the debugger behavior to print the pointer using
the same output we'd use for any null pointer:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) 0x0
It also adds an assert, helping us verify an assumption.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Print null array pointers as
`0x0' rather than `(null)'. Add assertion.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/arrayptr/foo.adb: Add new local variable Null_String.
* gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: Add test printing that new variable.
This patch enhances the debugger to distinguish between fat pointers
that represent either: array types, or array access types. In the latter
case, the object/type is encoded as a typedef type pointing to the fat
pointer.
The first part of the change is to adjust ada_check_typedef to avoid
stripping the typedef layer when it points to a fat pointer. The rest
of the patch is adjustments required in various places to deal with
the fact that the type is uses might now be a typedef.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (ada_coerce_to_simple_array): Add declaration.
* ada-lang.c (ada_typedef_target_type): New function.

The gdb.ada/watch_arg testcase is testing a situation where we are
leaving the scope where a parameter being watched is defined. The
testcase is a little non-sensical that we're watching a parameter
declared as an "access integer", which in non-Ada terms means
a constant pointer. Doesn't make much sense to watch a constant...
So this patch changes the code a little to use an "in out Integer",
which makes the parameter a non-constant integer, rather than a
constant access Integer. I verified that I could still reproduce
the problem with the original debugger and the modified testcase.
This was motivated by a patch that Sergio is about to submit which
will forbid the user from watching a constant (discussed on IRC)
2010-05-17 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
* gdb.ada/watch_arg/watch.adb: Rewrite testcase to avoid the

* gdb.ada/cond_lang: New testcase.
This implements a rudimentary version of the la_print_typedef method
for Ada. Ada usually does not use typedefs, but there is one exception:
pointers to unconstrained arrays. Without this patch, we sometimes
get an error in the "info types" output:
(gdb) info types new_integer_type
All types matching regular expression "new_integer_type":
File foo.adb:
Language not supported.
For now, we treat the typedef as if it did not exist - using the
underlying type instead. This is the right thing to do for most cases,
the only exception being access to array types. Since we already have
a general issue in handling these pointers (we confuse them with fat
pointers), we will enhance ada_print_typedef to handle these pointers
at the same time we address the general issue.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-typeprint.c (ada_print_typedef): New function.
* ada-lang.h (ada_print_typedef): Add declaration.

The problem is printing the wrong value for dynamic local variables
when using the "info locals" command. Consider the following code:
procedure Print (I1 : Positive; I2 : Positive) is
type My_String is array (I1 .. I2) of Character;
I : My_String := (others => 'A');
S : String (1 .. I2 + 3) := (others => ' ');
begin
S (I1 .. I2) := String (I); -- BREAK
Put_Line (S);
end Print;
After the debugger stopped at BREAK, we try printing all local variables.
Here is what we get:
(gdb) info locals
i = "["00"]["00"]"
s = "["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]["00"]"
Curiously, printing their value using the "print" command works:
(gdb) print i
$1 = "AA"
(gdb) print s
$2 = " "
We traced the problem to trying to get the contents of a variable
(call to value_contents) before "fix'ing" it. For those not familiar
with the Ada language support, "fixing" a value consists of swapping
the value's dynamic type with a static version that is appropriate
for our actual value. As a result, the dynamic type was used to
determine the value size, which is zero, and thus the value contents
was empty.
