This commit allows pointers to be dynamic types (on the outmost
level). Similar to references, a pointer is considered a dynamic type
if its target type is a dynamic type and it is on the outmost level.
Also this commit removes the redundant code inside function
"value_check_printable" for handling of DW_AT_associated type.
The pointer resolution follows the one of references.
This change generally makes the GDB output more verbose. We are able to
print more details about a pointer's target like the dimension of an array.
In Fortran, if we have a pointer to a dynamic type
type buffer
real, dimension(:), pointer :: ptr
end type buffer
type(buffer), pointer :: buffer_ptr
allocate (buffer_ptr)
allocate (buffer_ptr%ptr (5))
which then gets allocated, we now resolve the dynamic type before
printing the pointer's type:
Before:
(gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
real(kind=4) :: alpha(:)
End Type buffer )
After:
(gdb) ptype buffer_ptr
type = PTR TO -> ( Type buffer
real(kind=4) :: alpha(5)
End Type buffer )
Similarly in C++ we can dynamically resolve e.g. pointers to arrays:
int len = 3;
int arr[len];
int (*ptr)[len];
int ptr = &arr;
Once the pointer is assigned one gets:
Before:
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (int (*)[variable length]) 0x123456
(gdb) ptype ptr
type = int (*)[variable length]
After:
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (int (*)[3]) 0x123456
(gdb) ptype ptr
type = int (*)[3]
For more examples see the modified/added test cases.
