Joel Brobecker 9fe561ab7f [gdb/Ada] slices of arrays with dynamic strides
Consider the following Ada code:

       procedure Nested (L, U : Integer) is
          subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
          type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
             S : String (1 .. I);
          end record;
          type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;

          A1 : Array_Type :=
            (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
             2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
             3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));

          procedure Discard (R : Record_Type) is
          begin
             null;
          end Discard;

       begin
          Discard (A1 (1));  -- STOP
       end;

Trying to print a slice of that array currently yields:

    (gdb) p a1(1..3)
    $1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""))

We expected instead:

    (gdb) p a1(1..3)
    $1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 1, s => "A"), (i => 2, s => "AB"))

This is because the functions we use in ada-lang.c to create the type
of the array slice (ada_value_slice and ada_value_slice_from_ptr) was
not taking into account the stride of the array. This patch fixes this.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (ada_value_slice_from_ptr): Take array stride into
        account when creating the array type of the slice.
        (ada_value_slice): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add slice test.

Note that, with the current use of ada_value_slice, the enhancement
to handle dynamic array strides seems unnecessary, because I do not
see how an array with a dynamic stride can be referenced by either
by reference or pointer. Since references are coerced to array pointers,
in both cases, the slice is performed by ada_value_slice_from_ptr.
But ada_value_slice is enhanced nonetheless, in the spirit of making
the code more robust, in case we missed something, and also as similar
as possible with its from_ptr counterpart.

tested on x86_64-linux.

		   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

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