Subject: [Bug libdw/30085] Negative strides in dwarf_aggregate_size

--- Comment #2 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
I asked around and John DelSignore came up with the following fortran example:

= array.f95 =

program f_prog
        integer*4, allocatable, target, dimension (:,:) :: big_array
        integer, dimension (:,:), pointer :: neg_array
        allocate (big_array(2000,1000))
        neg_array => big_array(2000:1:-1,1000:1:-1)
end program f_prog

So, neg_array is a pointer to an array section where the elements of big_array
are reversed. That is, neg_array(x,y) references big_array(2000-x+1,1000-y+1).

In this example, the stride makes us go "backwards" into the array.

But note that gfortran -g array.f95 produces DW_FORM_exprlocs for the
DW_AT_byte_stride because almost all attributes of the array are dynamic at
runtime:

Something dwarf_aggregate_size doesn't handle. And even if it could handle the
expression, it doesn't know the object address or how to deref memory...
