passed to sizeof is dynamic evaluate the argument to compute the length.
commit 04b19544ef

value and retrieve the dynamic type size.
commit bcd629a44f

commit b86138fb04
vla: print "variable length" for unresolved dynamic bounds
gdb/
* c-typeprint.c (c_type_print_varspec_suffix): Added
check for not yet resolved high bound. If unresolved, print
"variable length" string to the console instead of random
length.
commit e1969afbd4
vla: support for DW_AT_count
gdb/
* dwarf2read.c (read_subrange_type): Convert DW_AT_count to a dynamic
property and store it as the high bound and flag the range accordingly.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_bounds): If range is flagged as
RANGE_UPPER_BOUND_IS_COUNT assign low + high - 1 as the new high bound.
* gdbtypes.h (enum range_flags): New enum.
(struct range_bounds): Add flags member.
commit 92b09522dc
vla: resolve dynamic bounds if value contents is a constant byte-sequence
gdb/
* findvar.c (default_read_var_value): Resolve dynamic bounds if location
points to a constant blob.
commit 3bce82377f
vla: evaluate operand of sizeof if its type is a vla
gdb/
* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof): Add enum noside argument.
(evaluate_subexp_standard): Pass noside argument.
(evaluate_subexp_for_sizeof) <BINOP_SUBSCRIPT>: Handle subscript case
if noside equals EVAL_NORMAL. If the subscript yields a vla type
re-evaluate subscript operation with EVAL_NORMAL to enable sideffects.
* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_bounds): Mark bound as evaluated.
* gdbtypes.h (enum range_flags): Add RANGE_EVALUATED case.
