Subject: [Bug ada/28321] New: Can't set convenience variables when the language is Ada
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2021 11:29:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-28321-4717@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28321

            Bug ID: 28321
           Summary: Can't set convenience variables when the language is
                    Ada
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ada
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Consider this session:

  $  gdb -q
  (gdb) set $var1 = 123
  (gdb) print $var1
  $1 = 123
  (gdb) set language ada
  (gdb) set $var2 = 234
  warning: Expression is not an assignment (and might have no effect)
  (gdb) print $var2
  $2 = void
  (gdb) print $var1
  $3 = 123
  (gdb) 

We are unable to set convenience variables if the currentl language is Ada. 
Changing the language back to C allows us to once again set convenience
variables.
