[python/Ada] gdb.lookup_type fails to looking primitive type
The following change... commit 1994afbf19892c9e614a034fbf1a5233e9addce3 Date: Tue Dec 23 07:55:39 2014 -0800 Subject: Look up primitive types as symbols. ... caused the following regression: % gdb (gdb) set lang ada (gdb) python print gdb.lookup_type('character') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> gdb.error: No type named character. Error while executing Python code. This is because the language_lookup_primitive_type_as_symbol call was moved to the la_lookup_symbol_nonlocal hook. A couple of implementations have been upated accordingly, but the Ada version has not. This patch fixes this omission. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_lookup_symbol_nonlocal): If name not found in static block, then try searching for primitive types. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.python/py-lookup-type.exp: New file.
