Daniel, let me recap:

My gcc 3.3.5 output:
     DW_AT_name        :
c:/QNXTau/eclipse/ide-4.5-workspace/testManagedCC/main.cc
     DW_AT_comp_dir    :
c:/QNXTau/eclipse/ide-4.5-workspace/testManagedCC/Debug
...
The Directory Table:
  ..

 The File Name Table:
  Entry	Dir	Time	Size	Name
  1		1	0	0	main.cc

My gcc 4.2.1 output:
    DW_AT_name        : ..\main.cc
     DW_AT_comp_dir    :
C:\QNXTau\eclipse\ide-4.5-workspace\testManagedCC\Debug
...
The Directory Table is empty.

 The File Name Table:
  Entry Dir Time	Size	Name
  1	  0	0	0	..\main.cc


Following the spec, I conclude that

1. case 3.3.5:
DW_AT_name is correct, according to point 2 of quoted document.
DW_AT_comp_dir is correct, according to point 6 of the quoted text.
File table in debug_line section is correct (according to the spec) as it
specifies files relative to DW_AT_comp_dir.

2. case 4.2.1:
DW_AT_name is correct, according to point 2 of quoted document.
DW_AT_comp_dir is also correct and 
file table in debug_line seems to be correct too.


You suggested that output from case 3.3.5 was a bug and should not occur (I
thought your statement: "The compiler should never do this.  I still say
that this is a bug in the compiler.  " was referring to this situation,
apologies if I misinterpreted what you said). 

Does it make sense now? 


Thanks,

Aleksandar
