This change is relevant only for standard DWARF (as opposed to the GNAT
encodings extensions): at the time of writing it only makes a difference
with GCC patches that are to be integrated: see the patch series
submission at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01353.html>.
Given the following Ada declarations:
subtype Small_Int is Natural range 0 .. 100;
type R_Type (L : Small_Int := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. L);
end record;
type A_Type is array (Natural range <>) of R_Type;
A : A_Type := (1 => (L => 0, S => ""),
2 => (L => 2, S => "ab"));
Before this change, we would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type <packed: 838-bit elements>
This is wrong: "a" is not a packed array. This output comes from the
fact that, because R_Type has a dynamic size (with a maximum), the
compiler has to describe in the debugging information the size allocated
for each array element (i.e. the stride, in DWARF parlance: see
DW_AT_byte_stride). Ada type printing currently assumes that arrays
with a stride are packed, hence the above output.
In practice, GNAT never performs bit-packing for arrays that contain
variable-sized elements. Leveraging this fact, this patch enhances type
printing so that ptype does not pretend that arrays are packed when they
have a stride and they contain dynamic elements. After this change, we
get the following expected output:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-typeprint.c (print_array_type): Do not describe arrays as
packed when they embed dynamic elements.
