[Ada] Make string_char_type a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in Ada
Before this change, trying to call an overloaded function with at least one character literal in argument would fail. For instance, given these two functions: function F (C : Character) return Integer is begin return Character'Pos (C); end F; function F (I : Integer) return Integer is begin return -I; end F; We would get the following GDB session: (gdb) p f('A') $1 = -65 (gdb) p f(1) $1 = -1 This is wrong because the first call should select the first F function and thus return 65. The root problem is that ada-lang.c:ada_language_arch_info stores in string_char_type a type whose code is TYPE_CODE_INT instead of TYPE_CODE_CHAR. As a result, all parsed character literals are turned into integer values and during overload matching, the TYPE_CODE_CHAR formal rejects the TYPE_CODE_INT actual. This change turns string_char_type into a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in ada-lang.c so that we have instead the expected: (gdb) p f('A') $1 = 65 gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_language_arch_info): Create a TYPE_CODE_CHAR type instead of a TYPE_CODE_INT one for the string_char_type and the ada_primitive_type_char types. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/funcall_char.exp: New testcase. * gdb.ada/funcall_char/foo.adb: New file. Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
