The following patch makes sure we still emit a DW_TAG_typedef for the element typedef in gcc.dg/debug/dwarf2/pr47939-4.c after a change to how the C frontend structures the variant chain of arrays.
It makes dwarf2out _not_ re-build the variant for arrays (like it does for vectors). Patch was tested by Joseph (also on gdb testsuite?) and I'm currently re-testing on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Ok for trunk and GCC 5 branch? Thanks, Richard. 2015-11-18 Richard Biener <rguent...@suse.de> PR c/68162 * dwarf2out.c (gen_type_die_with_usage): Keep variant types of arrays.
