This handles the discriminated record types of Ada: the PLACEHOLDER_EXPR is
the "template" expression for the discriminant in the type definition. Now
for some components, typically arrays whose upper bound is the discriminant,
the compiler creates a local subtype for the component, so the code needs to
be able to deal with this nested type.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2out.c (loc_list_from_tree_1) <PLACEHOLDER_EXPR>: Deal with
a nested context type
case PLACEHOLDER_EXPR:
/* This case involves extracting fields from an object to determine the
position of other fields. It is supposed to appear only as the first
- operand of COMPONENT_REF nodes and to reference precisely the type
- that the context allows. */
+ operand of COMPONENT_REF nodes and to reference precisely the type
