This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Before this change, trying to call an overloaded function with at least
one character literal in argument would fail. For instance, given these
two functions:
function F (C : Character) return Integer is
begin
return Character'Pos (C);
end F;
function F (I : Integer) return Integer is
begin
return -I;
end F;
We would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) p f('A')
$1 = -65
(gdb) p f(1)
$1 = -1
This is wrong because the first call should select the first F function
and thus return 65.
The root problem is that ada-lang.c:ada_language_arch_info stores in
string_char_type a type whose code is TYPE_CODE_INT instead of
TYPE_CODE_CHAR. As a result, all parsed character literals are turned
into integer values and during overload matching, the TYPE_CODE_CHAR
formal rejects the TYPE_CODE_INT actual.
This change turns string_char_type into a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in
ada-lang.c so that we have instead the expected:
(gdb) p f('A')
$1 = 65
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_language_arch_info): Create a TYPE_CODE_CHAR
type instead of a TYPE_CODE_INT one for the string_char_type
and the ada_primitive_type_char types.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/funcall_char.exp: New testcase.
* gdb.ada/funcall_char/foo.adb: New file.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
