[PATCH] D36480: [LLVM] Change to Verifier to allow Fortran CHARACTER types in debug information

[Eric Schweitz via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

schweitz added a comment.

Some notes:
Section 5.10 of the DWARF standard specifies the correct, vendor-neutral handling of Fortran's CHARACTER string type.
Section 4.4.3 of the Fortran standard explains the semantics of the CHARACTER type.
For what it's worth, the DW_AT_encoding, while not listed in Appendix A of DWARF (Ver. 4), might actually be quite desirable for Fortran compilers and debuggers for encoding the KIND of the CHARACTER type (in particular when supporting unicode).
