Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Sign extensions for DW_FORM_addrx were never considered
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 14:42:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023214230.13646-1-canacar@imcan.dev> (raw)
DW_FORM_addr is converted (sign-extended) to a signed value when
the dwarf size is less than the size of unrelocated_addr, if the
target architecture "naturally" sign extends an address (bfd.c).
However, the same handling was not done for DW_FORM_addrx. This
meant that for example, trying to `list` a function with an
address >= 0x80000000 on (some?) 32-bit mips targets, when
that address was encoded using DW_FORM_addrx, was broken.
This patch fixes this issue by plumbing read_addr_index_1 into
unit_head::read_address, which is the function used to extract
information from DW_FORM_addr, and so it handles this case
correctly.

Nasty, but the alternative is storing the needed info in PER_CU,
which at this point doesn't seem justified: it's not clear how frequently
