The gdb.ada/watch_arg testcase is testing a situation where we are leaving the scope where a parameter being watched is defined. The testcase is a little non-sensical that we're watching a parameter declared as an "access integer", which in non-Ada terms means a constant pointer. Doesn't make much sense to watch a constant... So this patch changes the code a little to use an "in out Integer", which makes the parameter a non-constant integer, rather than a constant access Integer. I verified that I could still reproduce the problem with the original debugger and the modified testcase. This was motivated by a patch that Sergio is about to submit which will forbid the user from watching a constant (discussed on IRC) 2010-05-17 Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/watch_arg/watch.adb: Rewrite testcase to avoid the parameter that we want to watch being a constant. Tested on both sparc-solaris (where the ancient debugger could still run ;-), and on x86_64-linux.

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.
