Subject: [PATCH 2/3] [gdb/contrib] Fix UnicodeDecodeError in dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 14:54:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608125420.2318026-3-tdevries@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608125420.2318026-1-tdevries@suse.de>
When running dwarf-to-dwarf-assembler.py on outputs/gdb.rust/unicode/unicode,
I run into a UnicodeDecodeError for (using readelf -w):
...
<4><9cf>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_variable)
<9d3> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xab4): 𝕯
...
or more explicit using llvm-dwarfdump -v:
...
0x000009cf: DW_TAG_variable [10] (0x000009c2)
DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_strp] ( .debug_str[0x00000ab4] \
= "\360\235\225\257")
...
Fix this by printing:
...
DW_TAG_variable {
...
DW_AT_name "\xf0\x9d\x95\xaf" DW_FORM_strp
...
