Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [gdb/contrib] Handle DW_LANG_Mips_Assembler in dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 13:19:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309121930.3098744-2-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309121930.3098744-1-tdevries@suse.de>
I ran gdb/contrib/dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py on a hello world executable, and
ran into:
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py", line 654, in <module>

attr_line = attr.format(
offset_die_lookup, indent_count=indent_count + 1
)
File "dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py", line 209, in format
s += "@" + LANG_NAME[self.value]
~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 32769
...
The problem is that the language 0x8001 (DW_LANG_lo_user + 1) is not listed in
elftools.dwarf.enums.ENUM_DW_LANG.
This is MIPS vendor extension DW_LANG_MIPS_assembler, commonly used for
any assembly in DWARF versions that don't define a value for it (starting v6,
there's DW_LANG_Assembly).
Fix the generic case by emitting:
...
DW_AT_language 32769 DW_FORM_sdata
...
and this specific case by emitting:
...
DW_AT_language @DW_LANG_Mips_Assembler
...
