[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D53530: Fix (and improve) the support for C99 variable length array types

To me a VLA fulfills all properties of a dynamic type so not modeling it as a dynamic type feels backwards to me. But not having to deal with temporary clang types might be worth the trade-off.

> The only other thing you would need to change to get the usability back in check when doing things in GetNumChildren() would be to have the function that gets the typename take on optional execution context for dynamic types. The ValueObject can easily pass its execution context when getting the typename. Anyone who doesn't would continue to get the "int []" as the typename which isn't really lying either way. Thoughts?

I didn't realize that the string `int []` is produced by ValueObject itself; I think this makes this option more palatable to me. I'll give it a try.
