[Ada] print null array pointer as `0x0' rather than `(null)'
Trying to print a variable defined as an access to an unconstrained
array:
type String_Access is access String;
S1 : String_Access;
If that variable is null, then GDB prints its value in an odd way:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) (null)
^^^^^^
This patch changes the debugger behavior to print the pointer using
the same output we'd use for any null pointer:
(gdb) print S1
$1 = (string_bug.string_access) 0x0
It also adds an assert, helping us verify an assumption.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Print null array pointers as
`0x0' rather than `(null)'. Add assertion.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/arrayptr/foo.adb: Add new local variable Null_String.
* gdb.ada/arrayptr.exp: Add test printing that new variable.
