Joel Brobecker 1b61134393 [Ada] avoid error message pollution with uninitialized tagged variable
Consider the following function...

  3 procedure Foo is
  4    I : Integer := Ident (10);
  5    Obj : Base;
  6 begin
  7    Obj.X := I;
  8    Do_Nothing (Obj.X'Address);
  9 end Foo;

... where type "Base" is defined as a plain tagged record. If the user
stops execution before "Obj" gets initialized (for example, by inserting
a breakpoint "on" the function - or in other words, by inserting a
breakpoint using the function name as the location), one might get
the following of output if you try printing the value of obj:

    (gdb) p obj
    object size is larger than varsize-limit
    object size is larger than varsize-limit
    object size is larger than varsize-limit
    $1 = object size is larger than varsize-limit
    (x => 4204154)

Same thing with "info locals":

   (gdb) info locals
    i = 0
    obj = object size is larger than varsize-limit
    (x => 4204154)

We have also seen different error messages such as "Cannot read
memory at 0x...".

The error happens because we are trying to read the dispatch table
of a tagged type variable before it gets initialized.  So the errors
might legitimately occur, and are supposed to be be contained.
However, the way things are written in ada-lang.c:ada_tag_name,
although the exception is in fact contained, the error message still
gets to be printed out.

This patch prevents this from happening by eliminating the use of
catch_errors, and using a TRY_CATCH block instead.  Doing this removed
the need to use functions specifically fitted for catch_errors, and
thus some other simplifications could me made.  In the end, the code
got reorganized a bit to better show the logic behind it, as well as
the common patterns.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (struct tag_args): Delete.
        (ada_get_tsd_type): Function body moved up in source file.
        (ada_tag_name_1, ada_tag_name_2): Delete.
        (ada_get_tsd_from_tag): New function.
        (ada_tag_name_from_tsd): New function.
        (ada_tag_name): Use a TRY_CATCH block instead of catch_errors
        to determine the tag name.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.ada/tagged_not_init: New testcase.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
