In this type entry the DW_AT_string_length attribute references a
second DW_TAG_formal_parameter that contains the string length. The
DW_AT_byte_size indicates that the length is a 4-byte value.
This commit extends GDB's DWARF parsing for strings so that we can
create dynamic types as well as static types, based on the attribute
the DWARF contains.
I then extend the dynamic type resolution code in gdbtypes.c to add
support for resolving dynamic strings.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_tag_string_type): Read the fields required to
make a dynamic string, and possibly create a dynamic range for the
string.
(attr_to_dynamic_prop): Setup is_reference based on the type of
attribute being processed.
* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type_internal): Handle TYPE_CODE_STRING.
(resolve_dynamic_array): Rename to...
(resolve_dynamic_array_or_string): ...this, update header comment,
and accept TYPE_CODE_STRING.
(resolve_dynamic_type_internal): Handle TYPE_CODE_STRING.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/array-slices.exp: Add test for dynamic strings.
