Yes and no. The test isn't representative of "real code". It will
be more productive to enhance the testcase a bit, I was very naive
when I wrote this code - it must have been the reduced testcase
I have been using to track down the issue, the code we have in our
testsuite is a bit better that way.

Yes, I agree. Could you try the following patch?

2006-01-02  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

	* gdb.ada/null_record/bar.ads (Do_Nothing): Add extra parameter.
	* gdb.ada/null_record/bar.adb (Do_Nothing): Likewise.
	* gdb.ada/null_record/null_record.adb: Fake use of type Empty
	to prevent this type from being optimized out.

That should help,
