dwarf2read.c::read_subrange_type: Handle dynamic lower bounds
Currently, read_subrange_type handles dynamicity only in the case of
the upper bound, and assumes that the lower bound is always static.
That's rooted in the fact that dynamicity was added to support C99
variable-length arrays, where the lower bound is always zero, and
therefore never dynamic. But the lower bound can, in fact, be dynamic
in other languages such as Ada.
Consider for instance the following declaration in Ada...
type Array_Type is array (L .. U) of Natural;
... where L and U are parameters of the function where the declaration
above was made, and whose value are 5 and 10. Currently, the debugger
is able to print the value of the upper bound correctly, but not the
lower bound:
(gdb) ptype array_type
type = array (1 .. 10) of natural
After this patch, the debugger now prints:
(gdb) ptype array_type
type = array (5 .. 10) of natural
gdb/ChangeLog:
