2025-05-15Fix regression with dynamic array boundsTom Tromey1-0/+89
Kévin discovered that commit ba005d32b0f ("Handle dynamic field properties") regressed a test in the internal AdaCore test suite. The problem here is that, when writing that patch, I did not consider the case where an array type's bounds might come from a member of a structure -- but where the array is not defined in the structure's scope. In this scenario the field-resolution logic would trip this condition: /* Defensive programming in case we see unusual DWARF. */ if (fi == nullptr) return nullptr; This patch reworks this area, partly backing out that commit, and fixes the problem. In the new code, I chose to simply duplicate the field's location information. This isn't totally ideal, in that it might result in multiple copies of a baton. However, this seemed nicer than tracking the DIE/field correspondence for every field in every CU -- my thinking here is that this particular dynamic scenario is relatively rare overall. Also, if the baton cost does prove onerous, we could intern the batons somewhere. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 41. I also tested this using the AdaCore internal test suite.
