Subject: [PATCH 0/6] DWARF Two Level Line Tables
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:59:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yjt2egou7zsx.fsf@ruffy.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)
Hi.
This patch set adds Two Level Line Tables support to gdb,
as well as support for the DWARF 5 line table extensions.
http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=TwoLevelLineTables
http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=140906.1
http://www.dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=140724.1
The current version of the patch uses a gross hack because
consumers of debug info, including gdb, are not aggressive
enough in rejecting versions they don't understand.
So that existing gdbs won't crash when given the new line table
we create a DWARF 4 line header, and tuck the guts of the
two line tables (logicals + actuals) in something that looks
like a single entry.
Fortunately 7.9 won't crash, so the plan is to hopefully do
something more sensible.
The patch has been regression tested with existing debug info,
as well as the new two-level-line-table support on the google-4.9.x
gcc branch, and the binutils users/ccoutant/two-level-line-tables branch.
