[RFC] Ada Support Plan

[RFC] Ada Support Plan

Evening all. I got the copyright assignment forms back from the FSF
today. :)

So I've been thinking about how to go about feeding the patches to the
list, and basically came up with this:

1. patches to files that the ada-* files need (I *think* this is a
no-op, but I'm checking atm).

2. patches for the ada-* files and Makefile.in

3. patches for enabling ada support in the internals

4. patches to "set lang ada" and detect when to go into ada mode.

Does this seem reasonable? Is there a better way of doing it?

I would appreciate seeing these patches.  In the interim, ACT has, of
course, made a number of modifications on our original set of
patches.

NP. http://www.velvet.net/~aidan/tech/ada_gdb-current.patch.gz

My automated patch/build script has been siliently failing to run. ;/

It's based off of the snapshot you placed in
sources.redhat.com/pub/gdb/contrib/gnat.

I'm not sure.  See below.

Have a look at what Petr Sorfa proposed for f95. My take on his strategy 
is to first get something that compiles and vagely works into the FSF 
repository and then, using that as a starting / discussion / reference 
point, integrate the more intrusive changes.

I think you're proposing the same strategy.

Pretty much, yeah.

If nobody has any objections I'll start feeding patches in in a couple
of days.
