Pierre-Marie de Rodat ff9baa5f1c DWARF: make it possible to emit debug info for declarations only
The DWARF back-end used to systematically ignore file-scope function and
variable declarations.  While this is justified in language like C/C++,
where such declarations can appear in several translation units and thus
bloat uselessly the debug info, this behavior is counter-productive in
languages with a well-defined module system.  Specifically, it prevents
the description of imported entities, that belong to foreign languages,
making them unavailable from debuggers.

Take for instance:

    package C_Binding is
        function My_C_Function (I : Integer) return Integer;
        pragma Import (C, My_C_Function, "my_c_function");
    end C_Binding;

This makes available for Ada programs the C function "my_c_function"
under the following name: C_Binding.My_C_Function.  When GCC compiles
it, though, it is represented as a FUNCTION_DECL node with DECL_EXTERNAL
set and a null DECL_INITIAL, which used to be discarded unconditionally
in the DWARF back-end.

This patch moves such filter from the DWARF back-end to the relevant
callers: passes.c:rest_of_decl_compilation and
godump.c:go_early_global_decl. It also This patch also updates the Ada
front-end to call debug hooks for functions such as in the above
example, so that we do generate debugging information for them.

gcc/
	* dwarf2out.c (gen_decl_die): Remove the guard to skip file-scope
	FUNCTION_DECL declarations.
	(dwarf2out_early_global_decl): Remove the guard to skip FUNCTION_DECL
	declarations.
	(dwaf2out_decl): Likewise.
	* godump.c (go_early_global_decl): Skip call to the real debug hook
	for FUNCTION_DECL declarations.
	* passes.c (rest_of_decl_compilation): Skip call to the
	early_global_decl debug hook for FUNCTION_DECL declarations, unless
	-fdump-go-spec is passed.

gcc/ada/
	* gcc-interface/ada-tree.h (DECL_FUNCTION_IS_DEF): Update copyright
	notice.  New macro.
	* gcc-interface/trans.c (Subprogram_Body_to_gnu): Tag the subprogram
	as a definition.
	(Compilation_Unit_to_gnu): Tag the elaboration procedure as a
	definition.
	* gcc-interface/decl.c (gnat_to_gnu_entity): Tag declarations of
	imported subprograms for the current compilation unit as
	definitions.  Disable debug info for references to variables.
	* gcc-interface/gigi.h (create_subprog_decl): Update declaration.
	* gcc-interface/utils.c (gnat_pushdecl): Add external DECLs that are
	not built-in functions to their binding scope.
	(create_subprog_decl): Add a DEFINITION parameter.  If it is true, tag
	the function as a definition.  Update all callers.
	(gnat_write_global_declarations): Emit debug info for imported
	functions.  Filter out external variables for which debug info
	is disabled.

gcc/testsuite/
	* gnat.dg/debug11_pkg.adb, gnat.dg/debug11_pkg.ads,
	gnat.dg/debug11_pkg2.ads: New testcase.

some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
