In Ada, the programmer can request that a range type with a non-zero base be stored in the minimal number of bits required for the range. This is done by biasing the values; so, for example, a range of -7..-4 may be stored as two bits with a bias of -7. This patch implements this for gdb. It is done by adding a bias to struct range_bounds and then adjusting a few spots to handle this. The test case is written to use -fgnat-encodings=minimal, but a future compiler patch will change the compiler to emit DW_AT_GNU_bias with -fgnat-encodings=gdb. It seemed good to get the gdb patch in first. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29; plus a variety of targets using AdaCore's internal test suite. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-09-03 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_num): Don't recurse for range types.

(create_static_range_type, resolve_dynamic_range): Update. * gdbtypes.h (struct range_bounds) <bias>: New member. (create_range_type): Add bias parameter. * printcmd.c (print_scalar_formatted): Unbias range types. * value.c (unpack_long): Unbias range types.

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.
