Subject: [PATCH 10/23] vla: get Fortran dynamic strings working.
Message-Id: <1401861266-6240-11-git-send-email-keven.boell@intel.com>

This patch enables the correct calculation of dynamic
string length.

Old:
(gdb) p my_dyn_string
$1 = (PTR TO -> ( character*23959136 )) 0x605fc0

(gdb) p *my_dyn_string
Cannot access memory at address 0x605fc0

New:
(gdb) p my_dyn_string
$1 = (PTR TO -> ( character*10 )) 0x605fc0

(gdb) p *my_dyn_string
$2 = 'foo'

	* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_type): Add
	conditions to support string types.
	(resolve_dynamic_array): Add conditions for dynamic
	strings and create a new string type.
	(is_dynamic_type): Follow pointer if a string type
	was detected, as Fortran strings are represented
	as pointers to strings internally.
