Bug#555890: gdb: Please consider enabling Fortran90 support by merging archer-jankratochvil-vla

2009-11-12 Thread Florian
Package: gdb
Version: 7.0-1
Severity: wishlist

The standard gdb version does not support essential features of the
Fortran90/95 language, which renders debugging of Fortran rather 
useless.

The archer-jankratochvil-vla branch enables Fortran90/95 support 
(allocatable/assumed-shape arrays,...), see e.g.
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9395

It would be great to see this in Debian!

thanks,

Florian

I currently only plan to include this after Jan gets it merged into
mainline.  I expect it will change quite a bit on the way.
