- Two reasons for that:
-
- 1. For Ada, we prefer computing the symbol's decoded name
- on the fly rather than pre-compute it, in order to save
- memory (Ada projects are typically very large).
-
- 2. There are some areas in the definition of the GNAT
- encoding where, with a bit of bad luck, we might be able
- to decode a non-Ada symbol, generating an incorrect
- demangled name (Eg: names ending with "TB" for instance
- are identified as task bodies and so stripped from
- the decoded name returned).
-
- Returning NULL, here, helps us get a little bit of
- the best of both worlds. Because we're last, we should
- not affect any of the other languages that were able to
- demangle the symbol before us; we get to correctly tag
- Ada symbols as such; and even if we incorrectly tagged
- a non-Ada symbol, which should be rare, any routing
- through the Ada language should be transparent (Ada
- tries to behave much like C/C++ with non-Ada symbols). */
