GDB also has some other problems while working with gfortran, such as the printing of one-dimensional array, function evaluation, handling of common block variable and so on... Some of these problems stems from the DWARF output of gfortran, some lies in the code of gdb, some might involve both. I has been working on some of these problem at gdb's side. I am now thinking of whether there are any specific requirement from gfortran community for GDB. Did any of you have a big picture about how well gdb work with gfortran? Did you have a list of things that want GDB to support first? Part of my effort is to extend gdb's testsuite with reference to gfortran compiler. So I am very happy to receive any feedback on these. Thanks a lot in advance. Best Regards - Wu Zhou
