[05/12] vla: print "variable length" for unresolved dynamic bounds
Commit Message
From: Sanimir Agovic <sanimir.agovic@intel.com>
1| void foo (size_t n) {
2| int vla[n];
3| }
Given the following expression
(gdb) ptype &vla
Gdb evaluates the expression with EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS and thus
does not resolve the bounds information and misinterprets the high
bound as a constant. The current output is:
type = int (*)[1289346]
this patch deals with this case and prints:
type = int (*)[variable length]
instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* c-typeprint.c (c_type_print_varspec_suffix): Added
check for not yet resolved high bound. If unresolved, print
"variable length" string to the console instead of random
length.
