Joel Brobecker 929b5ad40f internal-error using '@' (repeat) operator on array of dynamic objects
Using the following Ada declarations (the same as in
gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp)...

      subtype Small_Type is Integer range L .. U;
      type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := L) is record
         S : String (1 .. I);
      end record;
      type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;

      A1 : Array_Type :=
        (1 => (I => U, S => (others => ASCII.NUL)),
         2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
         3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));

... where "L" and "U" are variables, trying to apply the repeat
operator to "A1(1)" yields to an internal error:

  | (gdb) print a1(1)@3
  | $5 = /[...]/gdbtypes.c:4883: internal-error: type* copy_type(const type*):
  | Assertion `TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (type)' failed.

What happens first is that the ada-lang module evaluated the "A1(1)"
sub-expression returning a structure where "I" (one of the fields
in that structure) has a type which is dynamic, because it is
a range type whose bounds are not statically known.

Next, we apply the repeat ('@') operator, which is done via
allocate_repeat_value, which creates an array type with the correct
bounds to associate to our value, by calling lookup_array_range_type:

  | struct type *
  | lookup_array_range_type (struct type *element_type,
  |                          LONGEST low_bound, LONGEST high_bound)
  | {
  |   struct gdbarch *gdbarch = get_type_arch (element_type);
  |   struct type *index_type = builtin_type (gdbarch)->builtin_int;
  |   struct type *range_type
  |     = create_static_range_type (NULL, index_type, low_bound, high_bound);
  |
  |   return create_array_type (NULL, element_type, range_type);
  | }

As we can see, this creates an array type whose index type is
always owned by the gdbarch. This is where the problem lies.

Next, we use that type to construct a struct value. That value
then gets passed to the valprint module, which then checks
whether our object is dynamic or not. And because field "I" above
had a dynamic range type, we end up determining by association
that the artificial repeat array itself is also dynamic. So
we attempt to resolve the type, which leads to trying to copying
that type. And because the artifical array created by
lookup_array_range_type has an index which is not objfile-owned,
we trip the assertion.

This patch fixes the issue by enhancing lookup_array_range_type
to create an index type which has the same owner as the element
type.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * gdbtypes.c (lookup_array_range_type): Make sure the array's
        index type is objfile-owned if the element type is as well.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * testsuite/gdb.ada/dyn_stride.exp: Add "print a1(1)@3" test.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
