All compilers I use supply their own debugger (which may be on top of gdb).
Part of the problem is that there are Fortran 90 concepts which have no
implementation standard. For example, the array descriptor is
compiler-specific. So if you want to debug and look into an array pointer to
see the address field or the size field or whatever, there cannot be a
universal way to do this. I am not a vendor and am not sure if vendors would
at all be willing to release that kind of info into the public domain...
