I have found some little nits that I will point out in a reply to this
message.
Balaji, in Joseph's last review he mentioned:
In find_rank you have error ("Rank Mismatch!"); - this is not a
properly formatted error message according to the GNU Coding standards
(which typically would not have any uppercase). I'd also suggest that
when you find a rank, you store (through a location_t * pointer) the
location of the first expression found with that rank, so if you then
find a mismatching rank you can use error_at to point to that rank and
then inform to point to the previous rank it didn't match.
I see you have dispensed with the rank mismatch error altogether. Was this on
purpose? For example, you now have:
for (ii_tree = array;
ii_tree && TREE_CODE (ii_tree) == ARRAY_NOTATION_REF;
ii_tree = ARRAY_NOTATION_ARRAY (ii_tree))
current_rank++;
if (*rank == 0)
*rank = current_rank;
Which is basically failing to set *rank when it's already set (with no error). Is this
on purpose? If so, can you explain?
If it's on purpose, document it in the comment at the top of the function. And
then, why don't you exit the function immediately upon entry if *rank is non-
zero? It's a waste of time to do the rest of the analysis if you're just going to
throw it away.
Furthermore, Joseph suggested you store the location of the initial rank so you
can give a meaningful error message later and tell the user where the mismatch
is occurring and where the original rank occurred.
