fort_dyn_array: Enable dynamic member types inside a structure.
Fortran supports dynamic types for which bounds, size and location can vary during their lifetime. As a result of the dynamic behaviour, they have to be resolved at every query. This patch will resolve the type of a structure field when it is dynamic. 2016-04-26 Bernhard Heckel <bernhard.heckel@intel.com> 2016-04-26 Keven Boell <keven.boell@intel.com> Before: (gdb) print threev%ivla(1) Cannot access memory at address 0x3 (gdb) print threev%ivla(5) no such vector element After: (gdb) print threev%ivla(1) $9 = 1 (gdb) print threev%ivla(5) $10 = 42 gdb/Changelog: * NEWS: Add new supported features for fortran. * gdbtypes.c (remove_dyn_prop): New. (resolve_dynamic_struct): Keep type length for fortran structs. * gdbtypes.h: Forward declaration of new function. * value.c (value_address): Return dynamic resolved location of a value. (set_value_component_location): Adjust the value address for single value prints. (value_primitive_field): Support value types with a dynamic location. (set_internalvar): Remove dynamic location property of internal variables. gdb/testsuite/Changelog: * gdb.fortran/vla-type.f90: New file. * gdb.fortran/vla-type.exp: New file.
