Subject: Source info in discontiguous hand asm files
Date: Thu, 04 May 2006 01:23:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44595771.1070907@tensilica.com> (raw)
Hello,
gdb 6.1, as 2.15.92.0.2, gcc 3.4.2 per FC3 distro.
GDB fails to display source file and line info for functions in
two different sections in a hand-assembly source file.
A simple test-case that demonstrates the problem follows:
> cat test.S
.text
.globl foo
foo:
nop
.globl main
#ifdef DIFFERENT_TEXT_SECTION
.section .text.with.another.name,"ax",@progbits
#endif
main:
nop
> gcc test.S -Wa,--gdwarf2
> gdb a.out
...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x804834f: file test.S, line 13.
(gdb) b foo
Breakpoint 2 at 0x8048347: file test.S, line 5.
(gdb) quit
> gcc test.S -Wa,--gdwarf2 -DDIFFERENT_TEXT_SECTION
> gdb a.out
...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x804834f
(gdb) b foo
Breakpoint 2 at 0x8048347
(gdb)
The DWARF .debug_aranges section seems to have enough information
to deal with this, but GDB doesn't use it.
We'd like to find a fix for this. Any enlightenment is appreciated.
Regards,
