Still, for a complete dummy like myself, that took nearly 45 minutes,
just to make sure I understand TCL semantics better, and find a machine
that has TCL 8.5...
I would appreciate a review of the attached patch, because TCL and
I are not regular friends.
gdb/testsuite:
* lib/ada.exp (target_compile_ada_from_dir): New function.
(gdb_compile_ada): Reimplement avoiding the use of project files.
* gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr: Delete.
* gdb.ada/cond_lang.exp: Adjust test to make path before
filename optional.
* gdb.ada/small_reg_param.exp: Likewise.
Thanks!

Thanks for doing this.

:-) Looks generally good to me. A couple minor comments below.

Isn't that the same as just:
- "Breakpoint \[0-9\]* at .*: file .*/mixed.adb, line \[0-9\]*\\."
+ "Breakpoint \[0-9\]* at .*: file .*mixed.adb, line \[0-9\]*\\."

Likewise, I think this is a no-op. Did you mean to put the / inside the
parens like in the other case? If so I'd suggest:
- "Breakpoint .*, pck\\.call_me \\(w=(w@entry=)?50\\) at .*/pck.adb:.*" \
+ "Breakpoint .*, pck\\.call_me \\(w=(w@entry=)?50\\) at .*pck.adb:.*" \

Not sure this FIXME comment here turns out useful going forward. We have
many other instances of catch in the harness. And, IMO, having a wrapper
function looks nicer than open coding try/finally at the caller. Once we
rely on 8.6 and thus try/finally, I would think we'd keep the wrapper
function, but reimplement its body with try/finally instead.
Thanks,

Huh, sorry, brain malfunction. My version would give out a spurious
PASS with foomixed.adb, yours wouldn't.

This one still looks odd to me, though.

Subject: [PATCH] [testsuite/Ada] stop using project files when building test
programs
The current approach when building Ada programs for testing is
based on the use of a project file (testsuite/gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr).
To do that, we pass a number of additional arguments to target_compile,
one of them being the project file (via "-P/path/to/gnat_ada.gpr").
This used to work well-enough, but AdaCore is currently working towards
removing project-file support from gnatmake (the prefered tool for
using project files is gprbuild). So, we need to either switch
the compilation to gprbuild, or stop using project files.
First, using gprbuild is not always what users will be using to
build their applications. So having the option of using gnatmake
provides more flexibility towards exactly reproducing past bugs.
If we ever need a testcase that requires the use of gprbuild, then
I believe support for a new target needs to be added to dejagnu's
target_compile.
Also, the only real reason behind using a project file in the first
place is that we wanted to make it easy to specify the directory
where all compilation artifacts get stored. This is a consequence
of the organization choice we made for gdb.ada to keep each testcase
well organized. It is very easy to achieve that goal without using
project files.
This is therefore what this patch does: It change gdb_compile_ada
to build any program using gnatmake without using a project file
(by temporarily changing the current working directory).
There is a small (beneficial) side-effect; in the situation where
GDB is built in-tree, gnatmake is called as...
% gnatmake [...] unit.adb
... which means that the debugging info in unit.o will say contain
a filename whose name is 'unit.adb', rather than '/path/to/unit.adb'.
This also better matches what users might typically do. But the side-
effect is that the unit name in the GDB output is not always a full
path. This patch tweaks a couple of testcases to make the path part
optional.
gdb/testsuite:
* lib/ada.exp (target_compile_ada_from_dir): New function.
(gdb_compile_ada): Reimplement avoiding the use of project files.
* gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr: Delete.
* gdb.ada/cond_lang.exp: Adjust test to make path before
filename optional.
* gdb.ada/small_reg_param.exp: Likewise.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with both in-tree and out-of-tree builds.
