Hello all,

I'm badly missing the support for Fortran dynamic arrays in gdb. Jan
Kratochvil had written a couple of patches which implement this support.
They had been tested with several compilers, including GCC/gfortran
(4.3.0+), IBM's xlf and Intel's ifort.

The problem is that the patches are quite bulky and no one stepped
forward to review them. I'm willing to re-diff them, but only if someone
is willing to review them.
(Patch history: Initial patch 16 Nov. 2007, updated patch 24 Nov. 2007
(see links below); pinged for Dec 2007, Jan/Feb/March 2008.)

The original patch is available from:

1: (checked in)

An updated (i.e. rediffed), unsplit version is available from:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/rpms/gdb/devel/gdb-6.8-bz377541-fortran-dynamic-arrays.patch
But I were not surprised if that one needs rediffing as well, regarding
that URL cf. also
