Thanks Tom and Andrew for your comments. Hopefully addressed in the attached updated patch.

Please find my below answers for your queries.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have updated the patch for same.

> Space before "(".
Though the code is moved, I have taken care of the comment in general.

> Does it really start with a space? That seems weird.
Agreed but it has space at the start.

>> +# break main for Flang compiler already breaks here
> Do you know why?
Line number 46 is the place where breakpoint to main is hit for Flang compiled binary and that looks Okey.

We have the files producer.{c,h} that wrap up tests just like this one. If feels like we should add a new test to those files that matches all clang backend based compilers, then make use of this new test throughout.

I'd keep the name of the test fairly generic, the important thing here is the backend technology right, not the frontend language? So if I added a new language with a clang backend I'd likely run into the same issues.

Thanks,
Andrew

Subject: [PATCH] Fix for incorrect breakpoint set in case of flang compiled
binary

Currently, GDB is not able to set a breakpoint at subprogram post
prologue for flang generated binaries. This is due to clang having
two line notes one before and another after the prologue.
Now the end of prologue is determined using symbol table, which was
the way for clang generated binaries already. Since clang and flang
both share same back-end it is true for flang as well.

gdb/ChangeLog

* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_skip_prologue): Using symbol table
to find the end of prologue for flang compiled binaries.
* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_prologue): Likewise.
* i386-tdep.c (i386_skip_prologue): Likewise.
* producer.c (producer_is_llvm): New function.
(producer_parsing_tests): Added new tests for clang/flang.
* producer.h (producer_is_llvm): New declaration.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog

* gdb.fortran/vla-type.exp: Skip commands not required for
the Flang compiled binaries after prologue fix.
