Subject: Re: Limited success with 3.0 branch on AIX
Date: Tue, 01 May 2001 10:13:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200105011712.NAA28082@makai.watson.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <OF70310855.A41D4A39-ON86256A39.00616113@i2.com>

	I would like to refer the GDB experts to a question on the GCC
mailinglist in regard to Zack Weinberg's gcc2_compiled changes.  His patch
to implement DBX_OUTPUT_GCC_MARKER support on AIX was not completely
correct.  He used stabs N_OPT type which is not valid on AIX and does not
correspond to any AIX storage class stabx type.

	The closest AIX type seems to be C_GSYM (stabs N_GSYM).  Does GDB
for AIX care about the gcc2_compiled symbol?  Is using the N_GSYM type
(whose value is ignored, according to the documentation) okay?  The
semantics of a global symbol seem the closest to a N_OPT comment.  I do
not understand enough about the significance of the stab type to know if
this proposal would be satisfactory.

Thanks, David
