I believe I've addressed all review comments. Following up on this again, I have another version of this patch below which has two changes: - Switch from using '%d' to '%u' to display an unsigned int in the error message.. - Set max-value-size to 'unlimited' for the test gdb.base/huge.exp. I've tested this patch, and patch 3/3 [1] against the gdb testsuite on x86-64 linux, on a machine that has gfortran 5.3.1 installed. I do see the max-value-size exceeded error message crop up in 6 fortran tests, though I think that these are all legitimate errors, representing undefined, potentially unsafe behaviour being prevented. [1] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-12/msg00247.html) Thanks, Andrew --- For languages with dynamic types, an incorrect program, or uninitialised variables within a program, could result in an incorrect, overly large type being associated with a value. Currently, attempting to print such a variable will result in gdb trying to allocate an overly large buffer. If this large memory allocation fails then the result can be gdb either terminating, or (due to memory contention) becoming unresponsive for the user. A new user visible variable in gdb helps guard against such problems, two new commands are available: set max-value-size show max-value-size The 'max-value-size' is the maximum size of memory in bytes that gdb will allocate for the contents of a value. Any attempt to allocate a value with a size greater than this will result in an error. The initial default for this limit is set at 64k, this is based on a similar limit that exists within the ada specific code. It is possible for the user to set max-value-size to unlimited, in which case the old behaviour is restored. gdb/ChangeLog: * value.c (max_value_size): New variable.
