In gdb/gdbtypes.c, line 2027 (line incl. patch)

     static struct type *
     resolve_dynamic_struct (struct type *type,
                 struct property_addr_info *addr_stack)
    {
      struct type *resolved_type;
      int i;
      unsigned resolved_type_bit_length = 0;

     gdb_assert (TYPE_CODE (type) == TYPE_CODE_STRUCT);
     gdb_assert (TYPE_NFIELDS (type) > 0);

     resolved_type = copy_type (type);

The same you find in:
- resolve_dynamic_array
- resolve_dynamic_range
- resolve_dynamic_union
