From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jim Blandy To: Daniel Berlin Cc: gdb@sources.redhat.com Subject: C++ and multiple compilation units Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 13:03:00 -0000 Message-id: <20010717200447.24E1A5E9D8@zwingli.cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-07/msg00220.html Dan, a while back I think you mentioned a problem that would only appear when debugging C++ programs using Dwarf 2 debug info that used multiple compilation units. I think the issue was that our current dwarf 2 reader doesn't really handle inter-CU DIE references, and that GCC was going to start generating them. Our current C++ tests probably won't catch such a problem --- almost all of the test programs are a single CU. Can you give more details on this? Does GCC generate these inter-CU references now? For what sorts of constructs? Do you have a test case?
