Subject: Re: Handling corner case in building symbol table when "debug_line" includes compilation directory
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 04:30:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45F8CBDF.9090501@hq.tensilica.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070315022735.GA9613@caradoc.them.org>

I've attached the patch separately. Now, it should be fine. Sorry for
inconvenience.
1) test case
extern int printf(const char *fmt,...);
int main()
{
printf("Hello, World !\n");
printf("Let's make DWARF consistent across all the tools !\n");
}
2) output from "readelf --debug-dump"
The section .debug_info contains:
Compilation Unit @ 0:
Length: 241
Version: 2
Abbrev Offset: 0
Pointer Size: 4
<0><b>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
DW_AT_name : test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /home/maxim/W/BadgerPass/PR_14999
DW_AT_producer : xt-xcc for 7.1.2-development -O0
-OPT:align_instructions=32 -g2
DW_AT_language : 1 (ANSI C)
DW_AT_identifier_case: 0 (case_sensitive)
DW_AT_stmt_list : 0
[ . . . . . ]
Dump of debug contents of section .debug_line:
Length: 101
DWARF Version: 2
Prologue Length: 65
[ . . . . .]
The Directory Table:
/home/maxim/W/BadgerPass/PR_14999
The File Name Table:
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 1 1173897037 152 test.c
* * * * *
So the compilation directory is listed in the directory table. And, there is
a reference from the file table pointing to this directory.
Normally, we wouldn't see a compilation directory in a line table prologue.
With my native GCC on the same test case I have:
<0><b>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
DW_AT_stmt_list : 0
DW_AT_high_pc : 0x80483b6
DW_AT_low_pc : 0x8048384
DW_AT_producer : GNU C 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)
DW_AT_language : 1 (ANSI C)
DW_AT_name : test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /home/maxim/W/BadgerPass/PR_14999
[ . . . . ]
The Directory Table is empty.
The File Name Table:
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 0 0 0 test.c
So the compilation directory gets always described and referenced
explicitly.
Thanks for looking into this.
