I am running into an issue with the latest cvs trunk of gdb and the way it
interprets the DW_AT_variable_parameter attribute inside of a
DW_TAG_formal_parameter. Currently, dwarf2read will check for the presence of
DW_AT_variable_parameter, and if set to 1, it marks the symbol as a reference
type. This seems wrong to me. The dwarf standard does not say that the presence
of DW_AT_variable_parameter means that the type must be a reference type. Is the
way gdb is interpreting the presence of this attribute a bug?

This was a regression but the revert+testcase somehow got lost, checked it in
now:
[new testcase] Regression 7.1->7.2 for iFort [Re: [RFA-v2] dwarf debug format: Support DW_AT_variable_parameter attribute]
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-11/msg00084.html

Thanks,
