That's the idea, yes. And to be more complete, you would get a full path
in the case where you built GDB out-of-tree, which you would get
a simple filename if when you build GDB in-tree.

... and it is wrong. I don't understand how it could have slipped,
since I am supposed to have tested it in both in-tree and out-of-tree,
and this should have caused a failure in the in-tree case. Thanks
for spotting it!

I fixed this, removed the FIXME, and retested both in-tree and
out-of-tree, getting clean and identical results in both cases.

gdb/testsuite:

        * lib/ada.exp (target_compile_ada_from_dir): New function.
        (gdb_compile_ada): Reimplement avoiding the use of project files.
        * gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr: Delete.
        * gdb.ada/cond_lang.exp: Adjust test to make path before
        filename optional.
        * gdb.ada/small_reg_param.exp: Likewise.

Pushed to master.

Thanks again for the help, Pedro, and Merry Christmas :)

Subject: [PATCH] [testsuite/Ada] stop using project files when building test
 programs

The current approach when building Ada programs for testing is
based on the use of a project file (testsuite/gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr).
To do that, we pass a number of additional arguments to target_compile,
one of them being the project file (via "-P/path/to/gnat_ada.gpr").
This used to work well-enough, but AdaCore is currently working towards
removing project-file support from gnatmake (the prefered tool for
using project files is gprbuild). So, we need to either switch
the compilation to gprbuild, or stop using project files.

First, using gprbuild is not always what users will be using to
build their applications. So having the option of using gnatmake
provides more flexibility towards exactly reproducing past bugs.
If we ever need a testcase that requires the use of gprbuild, then
I believe support for a new target needs to be added to dejagnu's
target_compile.

Also, the only real reason behind using a project file in the first
place is that we wanted to make it easy to specify the directory
where all compilation artifacts get stored. This is a consequence
of the organization choice we made for gdb.ada to keep each testcase
well organized. It is very easy to achieve that goal without using
project files.

This is therefore what this patch does: It change gdb_compile_ada
to build any program using gnatmake without using a project file
(by temporarily changing the current working directory).

There is a small (beneficial) side-effect; in the situation where
GDB is built in-tree, gnatmake is called as...

        % gnatmake [...] unit.adb

... which means that the debugging info in unit.o will say contain
a filename whose name is 'unit.adb', rather than '/path/to/unit.adb'.
This also better matches what users might typically do. But the side-
effect is that the unit name in the GDB output is not always a full
path. This patch tweaks a couple of testcases to make the path part
optional.

gdb/testsuite:

        * lib/ada.exp (target_compile_ada_from_dir): New function.
        (gdb_compile_ada): Reimplement avoiding the use of project files.
        * gdb.ada/gnat_ada.gpr: Delete.
        * gdb.ada/cond_lang.exp: Adjust test to make path before
        filename optional.
        * gdb.ada/small_reg_param.exp: Likewise.

Tested on x86_64-linux, with both in-tree and out-of-tree builds.
