Before this patch things like (gdb) ptype complex*8 complex*16 (gdb) ptype complex*4 complex*8 were possible in GDB, which seems confusing for a user. The reason is a mixup in the implementation of the Fortran COMPLEX type. In Fortran the "*X" after a type would normally (I don't think this is language required) specify the type's size in memory. For the COMPLEX type the kind parameters usually (at least for GNU, Intel, Flang) specify not the size of the whole type but the size of the individual two REALs used to form the COMPLEX. Thus, a COMPLEX*4 will usually consist of two REAL*4s. Internally this type was represented by a builtin_complex_s8 - but here I think the s8 actually meant the raw size of the type. This is confusing and I renamed the types (e.g. builting_complex_s8 became builtin_complex_s4 according to its most common useage) and their printed names to their language equivalent. Additionally, I added the default COMPLEX type "COMPLEX" being the same as a COMPLEX*4 (as is normally the case) and removed the latter. I added a few tests for this new behavior as well. The new behavior is (gdb) ptype complex*8 complex*8 (gdb) ptype complex*4 complex*4
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
