Before:
(gdb) print threev%ivla(1)
Cannot access memory at address 0x3
(gdb) print threev%ivla(5)
no such vector element

After:
(gdb) print threev%ivla(1)
$9 = 1
(gdb) print threev%ivla(5)
$10 = 42
It would be helpful to describe your change, at least people don't know
much about fortran, like me, can understand the change.

gdb/Changelog:

	* gdbtypes.c (remove_dyn_prop): New.
	* gdbtypes.h: Forward declaration of new function.
	* value.c (value_address): Return dynamic resolved location of a value.
	(set_value_component_location): Adjust the value address
	for single value prints.
	(value_primitive_field): Support value types with a dynamic location.
	(set_internalvar): Remove dynamic location property of
	internal variables.

gdb/testsuite/Changelog:

	* gdb.fortran/vla-type.f90: New file.
	* gdb.fortran/vla-type.exp: New file.

First of all, the change in resolve_dynamic_struct isn't mentioned in
the CL entry.

AFAICS, addr_stack->valaddr and addr_stack->addr can't be used
together.  Either of them is used, so why do we set both of them?
Actually, when resolving dynamic types I don't use the valaddr. From what I understood I could even return if valaddr is not Null as the TYPE should already be resolved at that time.
But I was unsure about it and kept the code.

What is the problem we run into?
Imagine we have a dynamic allocatable array as a member of a structure. The size of the dynamic array can vary over time. When we have resolved this allocatable array we don't want to add it's length to the structure length it belongs to. Dynamic members are not embedded in the structure itself. Only the description of the dynamic type is embedded
and the size of the description (address, bounds,...) won't change.
If we add the length of the resolved type we would run in problems when we resolve arrays of structs with dynamic types (usually allocatable types) as we would use the wrong location (offset) for the boundary, size, location,.. attributes -> see patch 2/3.

Space is needed before "(".  What is wrong if we don't do so?  Do you
have a test case for this?
An internal variable has it's own valaddr to where the copy is located.
If we keep the dynamic location from the origin then this dyn. location will be used to set
the value component location.
As the internal variable is a copy of an value at a certain point in time I prefer to get rid off the dynamic location attribute then to do some "if else if else" constructs when setting the component location.
There are tests:
gdb.fortran/vla-value.exp: print $myvar set to vla1
gdb.fortran/vla-value.exp: print $myvar(3,6,9)
