For completeness: gfortran currently produces "GNU Fortran" and 
DW_LANG_Fortran95; GCC itself also handles ...Fortran77 and 
...Fortran90, but those are not produced with gfortran.

With the patch, it produces for -gdwarf-2/3/4 (4 is default) or 
"-gdwarf-5 -std=f95" the same as above. For -std=f2003 -gdwarf-5, it 
yields "GNU Fortran2003" and DW_LANG_Fortran2003. And for -gdwarf-5 and 
the rest of -std= (f2008, f2008ts, gnu, legacy), it produces "GNU 
Fortran2008" and DW_LANG_Fortran2008.

(In principle, they could have prepared for the future and added Fortran 
2015 as well.)


Regarding the change: it is fine with me. (However, I wonder how much 
will break, once the "|| !dwarf_strict" is enabled, knowing that 
compilers are often more frequently updated as debuggers, valgrind and 
similar programs. On the other, except of debuggers, most tools should 
care much about the DW_LANG.)

PS: Talking about DWARF5, do you know when it will be available as 
public draft? I am especially looking forward to 
http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=121221.1 (Allow DW_AT_type with 
DW_TAG_string_type), which would be a low-hanging fruit in terms of 
implementation. Contrary to the array additions of 130313.5.
