Subject: [rfa+5.3] bug in my earlier DW_TAG_namespace patch
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 16:26:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ro1fztuh2kx.fsf@jackfruit.Stanford.EDU> (raw)

I just noticed that my earlier patch that allowed GDB to accept
DW_TAG_namespace entries had a bug in it.  The function
scan_partial_symbols in dwarf2read.c only descends into DIEs that have
a name; but anonymous namespaces can lead to DIEs without names which
have interesting children (where by "interesting" I mean that we want
to add partial symbols corresponding to them).  This could result in
us missing some partial symbols.

I've enclosed a patch below: for obvious reasons, it should go into
GDB 5.3 as well.  I've run GDB on a copy of GDB with this patch
applied and followed the control flow when GDB runs into various sorts
of DW_TAG_namespace entries, and the control flow seems to behave like
I expect it to.  (This is, admittedly, after only a limited amount of
testing.)  I'm in the middle of running the testsuite (I'll run it
twice, once on a compiler that doesn't generate DW_TAG_namespace
entries and once on a compiler that does); assuming that there are no
new regressions, is the patch okay?
