(Ada) fix "error in expression" when using watch -location command
The "watch -l EXPR" command with the language set to Ada currently fails with the following error: (gdb) watch -l global_var Error in expression, near ` 0x000000000062d2d8'. The error occurs because GDB internally translate the request into a watchpoint on a different expression: "* (TYPE *) ADDR" where TYPE and ADDR are the type and the address of the object returned by the expression's evaluation (resp.). So, in the example above, global_var being an integer stored at 0x000000000062d2d8, GDB tries to set a watchpoint on "* (integer *) 0x000000000062d2d8", which fails, because we try to parse this expression with Ada, when in fact it is not valid. This patch fixes the issue by implementing the la_watch_location_expression language method, using a syntax that the Ada parser recognizes ("{TYPE} ADDR"). gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_watch_location_expression): New function. (ada_language_defn): Set la_watch_location_expression to ada_watch_location_expression. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/watch_minus_l: New testcase.
