A user here noticed that the Python Value.string method did not work for Ada arrays. I tracked this down to an oddity in value_as_address -- namely, it calls coerce_array, but that function will not force array coercion when the language has c_style_arrays=false, as Ada does. This patch fixes the problem by changing c_get_string so that arrays take the "in GDB's memory" branch. The actual patch is somewhat more complicated than you might think, because the caller can request more array elements than the type allows. This is normal when the type is using the C struct hack. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-05-08 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * c-lang.c (c_get_string): Handle non-C-style arrays. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2019-05-08 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Add Ada test.
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.
