Ping: Fortran dynamic arrays

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

Jan Kratochvil posted three weeks ago Fortran debugging patches, which
seem to be still unreviewed.

It would be great if they could be reviewed and included in gdb.

Currently GDB cannot display allocated or associated (dynamic) Fortran
arrays; with the patch the arrays are properly shown for programs
compiled with GCC's gfortran (4.3.0 2007-12-09 or later), ifort and xlf.

The patchset is:
0: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00438.html
1: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00439.html
2: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00440.html
3: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00441.html
4: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00442.html
5:http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00443.html
6: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00444.html

Carlos Eduardo Seo tested these patches and wrote: "it's working with
XLF on ppc64. Running the testsuite on ppc64 also shows no regressions."

Thanks too all for your work on GDB.

I reviewed this one, but I think I'll leave the rest to Jim, who offered
to review them when he has a chance. Jim is very knowledgeable, especially
regarding the DWARF reader.

Thanks, Joel - and also thanks to Jim, who hopefully has soon time to
review the patch.

Hello,

does anyone know the review status of the patches, which allow the 
debugging of the dynamic Fortran arrays.

With the current version of gdb these essentially are undebugable. The 
patches work with the shortly to be released GCC/gfortran 4.3.0, ifort 
and xlf90.

The patches were posted at:
>>> 1: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00439.html
>>> 2: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00440.html
>>> 3: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00441.html
>>> 4: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00442.html
>>> 5:http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00443.html
>>> 6: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-11/msg00444.html
>>>       
(I think the first one has been reviewed by Joel and has been checked in.)

I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long, Tobias.  I'm on a trip this
week, but I will make time to look them over on Monday.

Best intentions aside, In all honesty I have no idea when I'll be able
to look at this.  If anyone else can, please feel free.
