Currently, the Ada expression parser treats 'null' as an integer 0. However, this causes overloading to fail in certain cases. This patch changes the Ada expression parser to use a special type for 'null'. I chose pointer-to-int0, because I think that's not likely to be needed for any other Ada expression. Note this works because a "mod 1" type has an underlying non-zero byte size; the test includes a check for this. The output is changed so that "print null", by default, shows "null". And, ada_type_match is changed both to recognize the special null type and to remove a bit of weird code related to how pointers are treated for overload type matching. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 32. Because this only touches Ada, and Joel already approved it internally at AdaCore, I am checking it in. gdb/ChangeLog 2021-04-28 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * ada-exp.y (primary): Use new type for null pointer. * ada-lang.c (ada_type_match): Remove "may_deref" parameter.
