Joel Brobecker 4a46959e7b varsize-limit error printing element of packed array...
... when that packed array is part of a discriminated record and
one of the bounds is a discriminant.

Consider the following code:

   type FUNNY_CHAR_T is (NUL, ' ', '"', '#', [etc]);
   type FUNNY_STR_T is array (POSITIVE range <>) of FUNNY_CHAR_T;
   pragma PACK (FUNNY_STR_T);
   type FUNNY_STRING_T (SIZE : NATURAL := 1) is
      record
         STR    : FUNNY_STR_T (1 .. SIZE) := (others => '0');
         LENGTH : NATURAL := 4;
      end record;
   TEST: FUNNY_STRING_T(100);

GDB is able to print the value of variable "test" and "test.str".
But not "test.str(1)":

    (gdb) p test
    $1 = (size => 100, str => (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>), length => 1)
    (gdb) p test.str
    $2 = (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>)
    (gdb) p test.str(1)
    object size is larger than varsize-limit

The problem occurs during the phase where we are trying to resolve
the expression subscript operation. On the one hand of the subscript
operator, we have the result of the evaluation of "test.str", which
is our packed array. We have the following code to handle packed
arrays in particular:

      if (ada_is_constrained_packed_array_type
          (desc_base_type (value_type (argvec[0]))))
        argvec[0] = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (argvec[0]);

This eventually leads to a call to constrained_packed_array_type
to return the "simple array".  This function relies on a parallel
___XA type, when available, to determine the bounds.  In our case,
we find type...

    failure__funny_string_t__T4b___XA"

... which has one field describing the bounds of our array as:

    failure__funny_string_t__T3b___XDLU_1__size

The part that interests us is after the ___XD suffix or,
in other words: "LU_1__size". What this means in GNAT encoding
parlance is that the lower bound is 1, and that the upper bound
is the value of "size". "size" is our discriminant in this case.

Normally, we would access the record's discriminant in order to
get the upper bound's value, but we do not have that information,
here. We are in a mode where we are just trying to "fix" the type
without an actual value. This is what the call to to_fixed_range_type
is doing, and because the fix'ing fails, it ends up returning
the ___XDLU type unmodified as our index type.

This shouldn't be a problem, except that the later part of
constrained_packed_array_type then uses that index_type to
determine the array size, via a call to get_discrete_bounds.
The problem is that the upper bound of the ___XDLU type is
dynamic (in the DWARF sense) while get_discrete_bounds implicitly
assumes that the bounds are static, and therefore accesses
them using macros that assume the bounds values are constants:

    case TYPE_CODE_RANGE:
      *lowp = TYPE_LOW_BOUND (type);
      *highp = TYPE_HIGH_BOUND (type);

This therefore returns a bogus value for the upper bound,
leading to an unexpectedly large size for our array, which
later triggers the varsize-limit guard we've seen above.

This patch avoids the problem by adding special handling
of dynamic range types. It also extends the documentation
of the constrained_packed_array_type function to document
what happens in this situation.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (constrained_packed_array_type): Set the length
        of the return array as if both bounds where zero if that
        returned array's index type is dynamic.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.ada/pkd_arr_elem: New Testcase.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
