Jakub has recently implemented some of the Dwarf3 CFA value expressions: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-03/msg00009.html http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-03/msg00043.html Support in the GCC unwinder is in the works (or maybe already contributed and I couldn't find it :-), but GDB is still missing support for such encodings. Without this patch, when it encounters them, it complains loudly and fails to issue backtraces, as with the testcases in the patch that follows. This patch introduces support for the new encodings. Tested on amd64-linux-gnu. Ok to install?
