Tested on i686-linux, committed on trunk. This patch fixes a glitch caused by the fact that Storage_Offset is signed, and it is possible to subtract a small address from a large address and get a negative value. This may seem strange, but it is quite specifically allowed in the RM, and is what most implementations including GNAT actually do. Hence we convert to Integer_Address which is a full range modular type, not subject to this glitch. It is not easy to construct a test program since the bad effect of the wrap around can only be observed in an environment which provides a very unusual sequence of addresses returned by malloc. 2006-10-31 Vincent Celier <celier@adacore.com> * g-debpoo.adb (Is_Valid): Correctly compute Offset using Integer_Address arithmetic, as in Set_Valid.
