Hi,
What's the status of the Ada support in the current
GDB?
I compiled GDB 5.3 from sources on a RedHat 8.0 i686
machine (with gcc and gnat 3.2), but I'm not getting
very far. Apparently GDB does not understand Ada?
For example, I tried setting a breakpoint but got
"internal error - unimplemented function
unk_lang_create_fundamental_type called."
I then found a patch to gdb/language.c in this list
which changes the unk_lang_create_fundamental_type
to c_create_fundamental_type, but still the Ada
syntax is not recognized.
Thanks,
Oliver M. Kellogg

Not yet; the files there are intermediate placeholders. We will be
submitting a series of patches over the next few weeks to (finally)
connect up the Ada parts of GDB. There is a separate public version
of Ada-aware GDB (based on GDB releases prior to 5.3) available from
Ada Core Technologies.

Just to complete Paul's answer, the public version of the sources can
be found via FTP at: sources.redhat.com:/pub/gdb/contrib/gnat.

There is still a bit missing. Aidan Skinner has been chipping away at
the problem of getting GNAT's code up to current standards.

I don't. The code, for 5 years has been sitting, unrevewed, on a branch.
> What is the issue about GNAT's code?
The same issues as with any submition:
- It needs to be brought up to current coding standards. The original
code was written something nothing like the GNU standard.
- any invasive change needs to be individually presented for peer review
Having the code sit on a branch for 5 years doesn't in some way excuse
the need to do this.

I find this surprising and beg detail. What is the issue about GNAT's code?
