Subject: [rfc] Remove "(anonymous class)" dummy name in partial DIEs
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:03:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201009081724.o88HOoTD006483@d12av02.megacenter.de.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'm seeing lot of error messages along the lines of "(anonymous class)
is defined only in psymtab" when running "maint check-symtabs" on ARM
when glibc debug info is available.

This seems to be caused by the fact that partial DIEs corresponding to
anonymous structs or classes get a dummy name of "(anonymous class)"
in fixup_partial_die, while the corresponding DIEs of full symbols
will actually have a NULL name.  This discrepancy is detected by the
check-symtabs command ...

The dummy name "(anonymous class)" was introduced in this patch:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2004-04/msg00070.html
but I'm not quite sure why this was done.  Dan, do you recall?

In any case, simply removing this dummy name fixes the check-symtabs
output, without introducing any testsuite regressions.

Tested on armv7l-linux-gnueabi and i686-linux.

Is there any reason I'm missing why this dummy name should be set?

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2read.c (fixup_partial_die): Do not set dummy name for
	anonymous class partial DIEs.
