Subject: RFA/RFC: Change Sparc64 gdb.asm tests to use -gdwarf2 instead of -gstabs
Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 12:59:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3oem29ap2.fsf@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi Guys,
I would like permission to apply the following patch. It changes
the switch used to generate debugging information for Sparc64
targets from -gstabs to -gdwarf2.
This patch might be controversial however since although DWARF2 is a
more modern debug format when compared to STABS, there is also a
second motive for the change: GAS does not generate correct relocs
for Sparc64 STABS debug information. So this patch works around a
known failure in GAS, which means that possibly the problem might be
forgotten.
Cheers
Nick
