A recent change in check_typedef caused the following regression,
considering:
type String_Access is access String;
S1 : String_Access := null;
Trying to print S1, we get:
(gdb) print s1
$1 = (string) (null)
The type name is wrong. We were expecting:
(gdb) print s1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) (null)
The extensive comment in this patch explains how pointers to arrays
are encoded when the array is a "fat pointer". What happened is
that the change in check_typedef broke a type-equality test that
we were performing. The test really was on the fringe, but it
turns out that, for what we're doing, we're really only interested
in the main-type portion of the type.
The patch adjust the check accordingly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_type): Expand function documentation.
Return the original type if the main type portions match rather
than when the type themselves match.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
