In Ada, like C, an enum can assign values to the constants. However,
unlike C (or any other language supported by gdb), the enum type can
also be used as the range of an array.
In this case, the user's code references the enum constants, but the
compiler translates these to the position of the constant in the enum.
So for example one might write:
type Enum_With_Gaps is
(
LIT0,
LIT1,
LIT2,
LIT3,
LIT4
);
for Enum_With_Gaps use
(
LIT0 => 3,
LIT1 => 5,
LIT2 => 8,
LIT3 => 13,
LIT4 => 21
);
Then index an array like "array(LIT3)" -- but this will be the 4th
element in an array of 5 elements, not the 13th element in an array of
19 (assuming I did the math right) elements.
gdb supports this to some degree, with the only missing piece being
indexing into such an array. This patch implements this missing
feature, and also fixes an existing bug, which is that in some
situations I believe gdb would mis-compute the resulting array's
length.
The approach taken here is to try to integrate this feature into the
core of gdb. My view is that much of the Ada support should be better
integrated with gdb, rather than being "on the side". This, I think,
would help avoid code duplication at least. So, I try to take steps
toward this goal when possible.
Because other languages generally don't allow the user to specify the
index type of an array, I simply made the core of gdb unconditionally
apply discrete_position when computing the range of such an array.
This is a no-op for ordinary types, but applies the enum
value-to-position transformation for TYPE_CODE_ENUM.

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.
