Cool! I'll give Jason Merrill, the dwarf debugging info maintainer,
the opportunity to comment on this solution. Although I could approve
all of the middle-end changes, including the tweak to dwarf2out.c,
myself, it'd be nice to confirm that the debugging (and GDB?) folks
are happy with this solution of tagging types as CHAR vs. numeric.
Once the infrastructure is in place, you should have no trouble
getting your one-line Ada front-end fix into the tree, and it sounds
as though Tom Tromey was happy with my Java changes, in principle,
once the debug info issues were resolved?
Everybody happy with this patch for mainline?
