As in 4.5 and previous versions, gdb cannot print the values of
arrays, as produced by Sun's f77, and aborts important computations
when it tries. In particular, if one wishes to use the 'finish'
command to complete the execution of a function, and that function has
a dynamically sized array as parameter, the *first* thing gdb does is
say "Running until exit on function foo(arr=<Value is not an integer
or pointer>" and that error message aborts the 'finish' command.
Here, again, is a patch that causes gdb to print pointer values,
rather than error messages, when encountering one of these arrays. It
provides some information, at least, and permits commands like
'finish' to work.
