type: add c99 variable length array support
The dwarf standard allow certain attributes to be expressed as dwarf expressions rather than constants. For instance upper-/lowerbound attributes. In case of a c99 variable length array the upperbound is a dynamic attribute. With this change c99 vla behave the same as with static arrays. 1| void foo (size_t n) { 2| int ary[n]; 3| memset(ary, 0, sizeof(ary)); 4| } (gdb) print ary $1 = {0 <repeats 42 times>} gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_locexpr_baton_eval): New function.
