Re: RFA: [Ada] extract known tasks array parameters from symbol table

[Tristan Gingold <gingold@adacore.com>]

Hi Joel,

here is the new version, taking into account your comments:  I have mostly reshaped ada_set_current_inferior_known_tasks_addr, tell me if the new form is ok (and then I will test it more thoroughly).

Tristan.

2012-02-13  Tristan Gingold  <gingold@adacore.com>

	* ada-tasks.c (struct ada_tasks_inferior_data): Add
	known_tasks_element and known_tasks_length fields.
	(read_known_tasks_array): Change argument type.  Use pointer type
	and number of elements from DATA.  Adjust.
	(read_known_tasks_list): Likewise.
	(get_known_tasks_addr): Remove.
	(ada_set_current_inferior_known_tasks_addr): Try symtab first.
	Merge former get_known_tasks_addr code.
