[Ada] Ignore __XA types when redundant. Consider the following code which declares a variable A2 which is an array of arrays of integers. type Array2_First is array (24 .. 26) of Integer; type Array2_Second is array (1 .. 2) of Array2_First; A1 : Array1_Second := ((10, 11, 12), (13, 14, 15)); Trying to print the type of that variable currently yields: (gdb) ptype A2 type = array (1 .. 2, 24 .. 26) of integer This is not correct, as this is the description of a two-dimension array, which is different from an array of arrays. The expected output is: (gdb) ptype a2 type = array (1 .. 2) of foo_n926_029.array2_first GDB's struct type currently handles multi-dimension arrays the same way arrays of arrays, where each dimension is stored as a sub-array. The ada-valprint module considers that consecutive array layers are in fact multi-dimension arrays. For array of arrays, a typedef layer is introduced between the two arrays, creating a break between each array type. In our situation, A2 is a described as a typedef of an array type... .uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x125) DW_TAG_variable) .ascii "a2\0" # DW_AT_name .long 0xfc # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xfc) DW_TAG_typedef) .long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second" .long 0x107 # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0x5 # (DIE (0x107) DW_TAG_array_type) .long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second" .long 0xb4 # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0x6 # (DIE (0x114) DW_TAG_subrange_type) .long 0x11b # DW_AT_type .byte 0x2 # DW_AT_upper_bound .byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x107 ... whose element type is, as expected, a typedef to the sub-array type: .uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xb4) DW_TAG_typedef) .long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first" .long 0xbf # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0xbf) DW_TAG_array_type) .long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first" .long 0xd8 # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type .long 0x1c5 # DW_AT_type .uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xd0) DW_TAG_subrange_type) .long 0xf0 # DW_AT_type .byte 0x18 # DW_AT_lower_bound .byte 0x1a # DW_AT_upper_bound .byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0xbf The reason why things fails is that, during expression evaluation, GDB tries to "fix" A1's type. Because the sub-array has a parallel (descriptive) type (DIE 0xd8), GDB thinks that our array's index type must be dynamic and therefore needs to be fixed. This in turn causes the sub-array to be "fixed", which itself results in the typedef layer to be stripped. However, looking closer at the parallel type, we see... .uleb128 0xb # (DIE (0xd8) DW_TAG_structure_type) .long .LASF8 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first___XA" [...] .uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0xe4) DW_TAG_member) .long .LASF10 # DW_AT_name: "foo__Tarray2_firstD1___XDLU_24__26" ... that all it tells us is that the array bounds are 24 and 26, which is already correctly provided by the array's DW_TAG_subrange_type bounds, meaning that this parallel type is just redundant. Parallel types in general are slowly being removed in favor of standard DWARF constructs. But in the meantime, this patch kills two birds with one stone: 1. It recognizes this situation where the XA type is useless, and saves an unnecessary range-type fixing; 2. It fixes the issue at hand because ignoring the XA type results in no type fixing being required, which allows the typedef layer to be preserved. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_is_redundant_range_encoding): New function. (ada_is_redundant_index_type_desc): New function. (to_fixed_array_type): Ignore parallel XA type if redundant. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/arr_arr: New testcase. Tested on x86_64-linux.
