Currently, the Ada expression parser treats 'null' as an integer 0. However, this causes overloading to fail in certain cases. This patch changes the Ada expression parser to use a special type for 'null'. I chose pointer-to-int0, because I think that's not likely to be needed for any other Ada expression. Note this works because a "mod 1" type has an underlying non-zero byte size; the test includes a check for this. The output is changed so that "print null", by default, shows "null". And, ada_type_match is changed both to recognize the special null type and to remove a bit of weird code related to how pointers are treated for overload type matching. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 32. Because this only touches Ada, and Joel already approved it internally at AdaCore, I am checking it in. gdb/ChangeLog 2021-04-28 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * ada-exp.y (primary): Use new type for null pointer. * ada-lang.c (ada_type_match): Remove "may_deref" parameter. Handle null pointer. (ada_args_match): Update. * ada-valprint.c (ada_value_print_ptr, ada_value_print): Handle null pointer. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog 2021-04-28 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.ada/null_overload.exp: New file. * gdb.ada/null_overload/foo.adb: New file.
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.
