[Ada] Breakpoints on task bodies
Consider the following declaration: package Pck is task Dummy_Task is entry Start; end Dummy_Task; end Pck; Inserting a breakpoint on the body of that task does not currently work: (gdb) b pck.dummy_task "pck.dummy_task" is not a function Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n What happens here is that the compiler generates two symbols: (a) Symbol `pck__dummy_task' which is a *variable* referencing the task; (b) Symbol `pck__dummy_taskTKB' which is the subprogram implementing the body of the task. The symbol lookup only finds the variable before of the TKB suffix in the subprogram name. This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the ada-lang.c:is_name_suffix routine to recognize "TKB" suffixes. But that's not enough, because the search in the symtab is performed via the block dictionary, using a hashing algorithm. So, for the search to find `pck__dummy_taskTKB', I had to modify the hashing function to ignore TKB suffixes as well. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (is_name_suffix): Add handling of "TKB" suffixes. Update function documentation. * dictionary.c (dict_hash): Ignore "TKB" suffixes in hash computation. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/task_bp: New testcase.
