I have done the following:
  * applied the patch on ada-mode.el
  * started emacs -Q
  * M-x load-file ada-mode.el
  * loaded an Ada file
  * re-indented the complete buffer (with font-lock enabled)
     => indentation was correctly done.
  * put the cursor inside a single character (e.g. 'a')
     + evaluated (ada-in-string-p) before a, on a, after a.
      => expected result obtained.
  * did the same tests after having disabled font-lock mode
    Obtained same results except that re-indenting without font-lock
    is a *lot* slower.

So, from what I can see with this little test, the patch seems ok
(assuming I have done some relevant tests).

Thanks for your work ...
