Pierre-Marie de Rodat cd7c1778e7 [Ada] Make string_char_type a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in Ada
Before this change, trying to call an overloaded function with at least
one character literal in argument would fail.  For instance, given these
two functions:

   function F (C : Character) return Integer is
   begin
      return Character'Pos (C);
   end F;

   function F (I : Integer) return Integer is
   begin
      return -I;
   end F;

We would get the following GDB session:

    (gdb) p f('A')
    $1 = -65
    (gdb) p f(1)
    $1 = -1

This is wrong because the first call should select the first F function
and thus return 65.

The root problem is that ada-lang.c:ada_language_arch_info stores in
string_char_type a type whose code is TYPE_CODE_INT instead of
TYPE_CODE_CHAR.  As a result, all parsed character literals are turned
into integer values and during overload matching, the TYPE_CODE_CHAR
formal rejects the TYPE_CODE_INT actual.

This change turns string_char_type into a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in
ada-lang.c so that we have instead the expected:

    (gdb) p f('A')
    $1 = 65

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* ada-lang.c (ada_language_arch_info): Create a TYPE_CODE_CHAR
	type instead of a TYPE_CODE_INT one for the string_char_type
	and the ada_primitive_type_char types.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.ada/funcall_char.exp: New testcase.
	* gdb.ada/funcall_char/foo.adb: New file.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.

		   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.
