The debugger supports limited overloading. Given a subprogram call in which
|
||||
the function symbol has multiple definitions, it will use the number of
|
||||
actual parameters and some information about their types to attempt to narrow
|
||||

functions to procedures elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
If, after narrowing, the set of matching definitions still contains more than
|
||||
one definition, @value{GDBN} will display a menu to query which one it should
|
||||
use, for instance:
|
||||
|
||||
@smallexample
|
||||
(@value{GDBP}) print f(1)
|
||||
Multiple matches for f
|
||||
[0] cancel
|
||||
[1] foo.f (integer) return boolean at foo.adb:23
|
||||
[2] foo.f (foo.new_integer) return boolean at foo.adb:28
|
||||
>
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, just select one menu entry either to cancel expression evaluation
|
||||
(type @kbd{0} and press @key{RET}) or to continue evaluation with a specific
|
||||
instance (type the corresponding number and press @key{RET}).
|
||||
|
||||
Here are a couple of commands to customize @value{GDBN}'s behavior in this
|
||||
case:
|
||||
|
||||

||||
