Subject: [RFA] Fix for searching for data symbols
Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 09:33:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020119123318.A1378@nevyn.them.org> (raw)
This patch fixes the problem I described in:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2002-01/msg00223.html
Basically, since we use the bounds of the text segment to search for symbols
in find_pc_*, don't let them return a bogus answer for a symbol we know is
off in data land.
OK to commit, or does anyone prefer a different approach to this?

* symtab.c (find_pc_sect_psymtab): Do not search psymtabs for
data symbols, since we search based on textlow and texthigh.
(find_pc_sect_symtab): Likewise.
