The fortran FE creates array descriptor types via build_distinct_type_copy which ends up re-using the TYPE_FIELDs chain of FIELD_DECLs between types in different type-variant chains. While that seems harmless in practice it breaks once we try to generate C-like debug info for it because dwarf2out doesn't expect such sharing to occur (and I wouldn't be surprised of other odd behavior elsewhere that simply doesn't manifest in a as fatal way as PR86321).
We generate C-like debug info when you use LTO and -g0 at compile-time and -g at link-time (that's the way targets w/o debug-copy implementation end up wired). For non-LTO we avoid directly generating debug for the array descriptor types by detecting them via a langhook. The solution seems to be to adhere to the invariant that TYPE_FIELDs (and thus FIELD_DECL) sharing is only valid between variant types and their main variant. Thus, copy the chain. Bootstrap / regtest pending on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. I suppose verify_type () could check proper ownership of the FIELD_DECLs (simply verify that DECL_CONTEXT is TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT). But I guess this may break in different ways. Honza - did you originally try to verify that? It currently says for (tree fld = TYPE_FIELDS (t); fld; fld = TREE_CHAIN (fld)) { /* TODO: verify properties of decls. */ if (TREE_CODE (fld) == FIELD_DECL) ; ... OK for trunk?
