(Ada/tasking) fix array or string index out of range warning
A recent change in the compiler highlighted a small weakness in the function reading the contents of the Ada Task Control Block (ATCB -- the data that allows us to inspect Ada tasks). As a result, anytime we read it, we started getting some warnings. For instance, using the gdb.ada/tasks.exp testcase... $ gnatmake -g foo.adb $ gdb foo (gdb) b foo.adb:60 Breakpoint 1 at 0x403e07: file foo.adb, line 60. (gdb) run [...] Thread 1 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, foo () at foo.adb:60 60 for J in Task_List'Range loop -- STOP_HERE ... we can see that the "info tasks" command produces some warnings, followed by the correct output. (gdb) info tasks !! -> warning: array or string index out of range !! -> warning: array or string index out of range !! -> warning: array or string index out of range !! -> warning: array or string index out of range ID TID P-ID Pri State Name * 1 654050 48 Runnable main_task 2 654ef0 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(1) 3 658680 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(2) 4 65be10 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(3) The problem comes from the fact that read_atcb, the function responsible for loading the contents of the ATCB, blindly tries to read some data which is only relevant when a task is waiting for another task on an entry call. A comment in that code's section gives a hint as to how the information is meant to be decoded: /* Let My_ATCB be the Ada task control block of a task calling the entry of another task; then the Task_Id of the called task is in My_ATCB.Entry_Calls (My_ATCB.ATC_Nesting_Level).Called_Task. */ What the comment shows is that, to get the Id of the task being called, one has to go through the entry calls field, which is an array pointer. Up to now, we were lucky that, for tasks that are _not_ waiting on an entry call, its ATCB atc_nesting_level used to be set to 1, and so we were able to silently read some irrelevant data. But a recent change now causes this field to be zero instead, and this triggers the warning, since we are now trying to read outside of the array's range (arrays in Ada often start at index 1, as is the case here). We avoid this issue by simply only reading that data when the data is actually known to be relevant (state == Entry_Caller_Sleep). This, in turn, allows us to simplify a bit the use of the task_info->state field, where we no longer need to check task the task has a state equal to Entry_Caller_Sleep before using this field. Indeed, with this new approach, we now know that, unless task_info->state == Entry_Caller_Sleep, the state is now guaranteed to be zero. In other words, we no longer set task_info->called_task to some random value, forcing to check the task's state first as a way to verify that the data is not random. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (read_atcb): Only set task_info->called_task if task_info->state == Entry_Caller_Sleep. (print_ada_task_info): Do not check task_info->state before checking task_info->called_task. (info_task): Likewise.
