High c.,

Have you started work on gdb?  This weekend I was working on a patch
for the GCC testsuite to make it correctly honor a preexisting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  This exposed a couple of problems related to
dwarf2 exception support (e.g., g++.dg/eh/forced1.C).  This test
passes with sjlj exceptions but fails with dwarf2 exceptions.  I
started trying to debug this but found gdb dumps core trying to
read the symbol table of libgcc_s.so.2 :(

(gdb) sharedlibr /home/dave/gcc-3.5/objdir/gcc/libgcc_s.so.2
Reading symbols from /home/dave/gcc-3.5/objdir/gcc/libgcc_s.so.2...done.
Loaded symbols for /home/dave/gcc-3.5/objdir/gcc/libgcc_s.so.2

The details are:

(gdb) ptype blk
type = struct dwarf_block {
    unsigned int size;
    char *data;
} *
(gdb) info addr blk
Symbol "blk" is an argument in register r26.

(gdb) p *die
$4 = {tag = DW_TAG_formal_parameter, has_children = 0, abbrev = 31,
  offset = 63577, num_attrs = 5, attrs = 0x37e270, next_ref = 0x0,
  next = 0x37e2b0, type = 0x0}
(gdb) p die->attrs[0]
$5 = {name = DW_AT_name, form = DW_FORM_strp, u = {str = 0x34a278
"encoding",
  blk = 0x34a278, unsnd = 3449464, snd = 3449464, addr = 3449464}}
(gdb) p die->attrs[1]
$6 = {name = DW_AT_decl_file, form = DW_FORM_data1, u = {
  str = 0x1 <Address 0x1 out of bounds>, blk = 0x1, unsnd = 1, snd = 1,
  addr = 1}}
(gdb) p die->attrs[2]
$7 = {name = DW_AT_decl_line, form = DW_FORM_data1, u = {
  str = 0x4a <Address 0x4a out of bounds>, blk = 0x4a, unsnd = 74, snd = 74,
  addr = 74}}
(gdb) p die->attrs[3]
$8 = {name = DW_AT_type, form = DW_FORM_ref4, u = {
  str = 0x45 <Address 0x45 out of bounds>, blk = 0x45, unsnd = 69, snd = 69,
  addr = 69}}
(gdb) p die->attrs[4]
$9 = {name = DW_AT_location, form = DW_FORM_data4, u = {
  str = 0x55cd <Address 0x55cd out of bounds>, blk = 0x55cd, unsnd = 21965,
  snd = 21965, addr = 21965}}

The misaligned address for "blk" comes from the above.  I know next to
nothing about the dwarf2 encoding but I would guess that the symbol table
is wrong, although it might be a problem in dwarf2read.c.  This was with
gdb-6.0-2.

Thoughts?

I think I will build GCC with -gstabs so I can debug the forced1.C
problem.

Dave
