--- Comment #5 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
You are clearly misreading what the standard says.
DW_AT_type on DW_TAG_subrange_type is the basis type of the subrange.
Say if you have array char a[5];, then the subrange of the array is 0:5 and the
type of the subrange is the type of the 0 and 5 constants - the lower/upper
bounds.
If you continue reading 5.11, you'll see that if DW_AT_type is missing on the
subrange, then it defaults to the type of DW_AT_lower_bound object, or
DW_AT_upper_bound object (if they are object), or integer with the size of
address. Nothing related to the element type, the subrange is not about
elements, but extents of the array.
