  This patch enables GDB to print the value of a dynamic
array (VLA) if allocated/associated in fortran. If not the
allocation status will be printed to the command line.

(gdb) p vla_not_allocated
$1 = <not allocated>

(gdb) p vla_allocated
$1 = (1, 2, 3)

(gdb) p vla_not_associated
$1 = <not associated>

(gdb) p vla_associated
$1 = (3, 2, 1)

The patch covers various locations where the allocation/
association status makes sense to print.

There may be places where it easily makes sense, but there are
several hunks that I do not understand. I suspect that those
bits may have something to do with the 10 testcases that follow
this patch.

First of all, it's unclear to me which pieces of functionality
this patch is trying to address: It's clear that handling of
non-associated & non-allocated types is one. But are there
other pieces of functionality being added here as well?

What I propose is that we first clarify the question above, and
that once the question above is clarified, we work on the bare
minimum patch to provide the first piece of functionality on
the list, whichever one makes most sence to you. That patch
should provide not just this bare-minimum set of code changes,
but also the corresponding tests that verify the new piece of
functionality.That way, I can review code and test together,
and see why certain hunks are necessary.

Limitations that allow us to reduce the size of each patch are OK.
We can then have small patches at each iteration that lifts one
limitation at a time.

During this iterative process, I would stop and wait at each
iterative process. I think you'll be wasting a fair amout of
time at each iteration if you try to submit 20 patches each time.

Some general comments below:

The comment has a line that's too long. There are several other
parts of this patch where lines are too long too.

When the function documentation is in the .h file, we prefer
that comment explains where the function is documented. Eg:

/* See dwarf2loc.h.  */

This way, we do know at a single glance that the function is
documented, and where that documentation is.

Based on the implementation of those macros, you are definitely
making an assumption that for types that do have these properties,
those properties have been resolved. This needs to be documented,
and I am also wondering whether an assert might also be appropriate.

Basically the whole support for Fortran dynamic arrays is covered in this patch, not only the support allocated/associated states.

I thought it would be good to have one patch, which enables the dynamic array support completely and not having individual small patches, which might not functional at all. All the tests following this patch are testing various functionality in the area of dynamic arrays.
I will think about it if it's possible to split them.

I see, sounds reasonable to me.

Yes, this assumption is done as this is the main idea behind the implementation.
Will add add an assert.

That's just too much for me to grok, and I think that's also going
to make it harder later on to figure out why a certain piece of
your changes is needed or not. When testing is fairly complete
and it is affecting a mainstream language such as C, commenting
the code out can help figure things out. But this is still sub-
optimal, and nearly out of reach for less available languages such
as Fortran.

To give you an example showing that this is very necessary, we are
currently trying to figure out, at AdaCore, why reference types
are considered dynamic if their target type is dynamic. If I had
asked that question earlier on, we wouldn't be trying to find
the info a posteriori.

Here's a suggestion of how I sometimes approach that problem.

Start from a clean checkout and build it. Then use a program
that has the simplest situation of an associated array, and
start by adding the code that reads the DWARF info, and then
keep adding code until GDB is able to print "<unassociated>"
for that array.

If you need additional changes to be able to print the correct
value of associated arrays, leave those for later. We can deal
deal with that as a separate patch (assuming no regression
elsewhere, but I don't see how this could happen).

Once we have that, we can start working on your testcase, and
test the feature that you just introduced, within the limitations
that your simplified patch currently have. Make that one patch,
and send it.

Once we have the first patch reviewed, and pushed to the GDB
repository, we can claim that as first progress, and show
that we have something for our efforts. Then we iterate, piece
by piece, feature by feature, special-case by special-case.
Each time, we need to handle the bare minimum, and have
a corresponding new set of tests. Note that the new tests do
not need to be in a new testcase - it is perfectly fine to
add tests to a pre-existing testcase too.

I apologize if it seems a little painful for you to be working
this way, but I truly believe that it'll make things a lot easier
to review, and as a result, I believe that it'll actually take
less time to get that code accepted.
