Well, as far as I can tell, the bug doesn't have anything to do with shared
memory. It's just that GNAT does not emit any information for imported
entities, as demonstrated in the following example:
package P is
Foobar : Integer;
pragma Import (C, Foobar);
end P;
% gcc -g -S -o - p.ads | grep -i foobar
[no output]
Removing the "pragma Import" will show that debugging information, including
type-related information, is generated.
GNAT should IMO be able to do a better job here and store the information for
the symbols it imports if the debugging format supports it. Changing the bug
title and classifying as an enhancement request.
