Andrew,
Lets start with the obvious, can you fix the ARI problems (Run 'gdb_ari.sh -Wari' from http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ari/)?
OK
Looking over the code, ada-tasks.c is going to be a problem. Can we ignore that for now (removing it?) and just focus on getting basic language support enabled? Once that's done, we can start working through the underlying issues that prompted ACT to add ada-tasks.c.
Right. I disabled it (i.e., it's not compiled) in the latest version of the patch I sent, and do not expect it to be reviewed. We've decided that now is as good a time as any to do a much-needed major revision of ada-tasks.c; I'm not sure right now if I want to remove the source entirely from the repository. Depends on how major a change I need.
The "underlying issues" are that Ada has tasks and they are (in general)
built on top of, but in principle distinct from threads. As for why to put it in a separate file---well it's messy, due to the fact that tasks map onto threads differently on every single confounded platform, it seems.
Did that previous ChangeLog problem get fixed?
Not yet, but I haven't forgotten it. It must go in, but I fear it will be of no help for the current task.
