This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start

gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Consider a variable "PRA" defined as a packed array of packed
records as follow:
subtype Int is Integer range 0 .. 7;
type Packed_Rec is record
X, Y : Int;
W : Integer;
end record;
pragma Pack (Packed_Rec);
type Packed_RecArr is array (Integer range <>) of Packed_Rec;
pragma Pack (Packed_RecArr);
PRA : Packed_RecArr (1 .. 3);
Consider also a variable "PR", which is a Packed_Rec record,
declared as follow:
PR : Packed_Rec := (2, 2, 2);
Trying to assign a new value to PRA using an aggregate expression
where one of the components is our variable PR yields the wrong
result on big-endian machines (e.g. on ppc-linux):
(gdb) p pra := (pr, (2,2,2), (2,2,2))
$6 = ((x => 1, y => 0, w => 8), [...]
On the other hand, replacing "pr" by "(2,2,2)" does work.
I tracked the issue down to the bit offset we use to extract
the value of "PR" and copy it inside PRA. in value_assign_to_component,
we have:
if (gdbarch_bits_big_endian (get_type_arch (value_type (container))))
move_bits ([target buffer], [bit offset in target buffer],
[source buffer where PR is stored],
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (component)) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT - bits,
bits, 1);
The issue is with the third-to-last argument, which provides the bit
offset where the value of PR is stored relative to its start address,
and therefore the bit offset relative to the start of the source
buffer passed as the previous argument.
In our case, component is a 38bit packed record whose TYPE_LENGTH
is 5 bytes, so the bit-offset that gets calculated is 2 (bits).
However, that formula only really applies to scalars, whereas
in our case, we have a record (struct). The offset in the non-scalar
case should be zero.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (value_assign_to_component): In the case of
big-endian targets, extract the bits of the given VAL
using an src_offset of zero if container is not a scalar.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/packed_array_assign: New testcase.
