[RFA/ada] Improve is_known_support_routine

[Joel Brobecker]

Hello,

A customer just reported us an issue that we never noticed before.
It can be reduced to this:

    procedure Foo is
    begin
       raise Constraint_Error;
    end Foo;

We're setting an exception catchpoint. Then we debug from a location
that's not where the sources are ("cd subdir"):

    % gnatmake -g foo
    % gdb foo
    (gdb) cd subdir
    (gdb) catch exception
    (gdb) run
    Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at <__gnat_raise_nodefer_with_msg>
       (e=0x805844c) at a-except.adb:818
    818     a-except.adb: No such file or directory.
            in a-except.adb
    (gdb) f
    #0  <__gnat_raise_nodefer_with_msg> (e=0x805844c) at a-except.adb:818
    818     in a-except.adb

As you see, the debugger did not go up the call stack to foo.adb.
Here is the the expected output:

    (gdb) run
    Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x080497fe in foo () at foo.adb:3
    3          raise Constraint_Error;
    (gdb) f
    #4  0x080497fe in foo () at foo.adb:3
    3          raise Constraint_Error;

The is_known_support_routine identifies any frame for which we cannot
find the source file. The check we currently have in place is a bit too
simplistic, so I replaced it with the function we use to locate source
files:

-  if (stat (sal.symtab->filename, &st))
+  if (symtab_to_fullname (sal.symtab) == NULL)

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this within our testsuite, because
we use GNAT project files to build the executable. One of the side effects
of using a project file is that the compiler is called with the absolute
filename rather than a relative filename. As a result, symtab->filename
contains the absolute path, and hence the stat call always succeeds.

Because we offer the option of building GDB out of tree, apart from
creating on the fly the setup in a temporary directory, followed by
compiling and then testing there, I am not sure how to create a testcase
for this issue... We were able to add a testcase in our testsuite,
however, as it uses another type of technology that allows us to build
our example programs without project files.

For now, I propose that we commit this patch without adding a testcase.
I think that the symtab_to_fullname routine is already fairly
extensively tested as it just a wrapper around a fairly central routine
in source location.

        * ada-lang.c: Add include of source.h.
        (is_known_support_routine): Improve the check verifying that the file
        associated to this frame exists.
        * Makefile.in (ada-lang.o): Add dependency on source.h.

Tested on x86-linux. Ok to apply?

Thank you,

PS: I'll start working on the other, more cosmetic, improvements for
    that routine tomrorrow.
