Handle other cases than EVAL_NORMAL in the default case
In the evaluation of an expression in Ada mode, the default case unwraps the argument unconditionally. For an object of a variant record type, this unwrapping builds a fixed type from the specification of the variant type and the actual values of the object's discriminants. It means that unwrapping needs the "proper" value for the object, not just a zero value with the proper type. When not in EVAL_NORMAL, we cannot assume that the evaluation returns such a proper value; it may well return a zero value of the appropriate type e.g in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS. It is wrong to try to unwrap in that case. In particular, a problem shows up when using expression of the form {VARIANT_TYPE}OBJ. GDB first evaluates this expression in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS to compute the type, the evaluation of OBJ in most cases returns a zero value of its type, and as UNOP_MEMVAL is mapped to the default case its evaluation ends up trying to read memory around address 0. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp): Unwrap only in EVAL_NORMAL.
