Subject: constructors and DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 17:59:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3smheoo71.fsf@coconut.kealia.com> (raw)

I was just looking at the .debug_info for the example given in PR
1553, and I was surprised to see the following (some bits have been
deleted)

	.uleb128 0x2	# (DIE (0x25) DW_TAG_structure_type)
	.long	0x7b	# DW_AT_sibling
	.ascii "A\0"	# DW_AT_name
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_byte_size
	.uleb128 0x4	# (DIE (0x37) DW_TAG_subprogram)
	.long	0x57	# DW_AT_sibling
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_external
	.long	.LC0	# DW_AT_name: "operator="
	.long	.LC1	# DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name: "_ZN1AaSERKS_"
	.long	0x7b	# DW_AT_type
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_artificial
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_declaration
	.byte	0x0	# end of children of DIE 0x37
	.uleb128 0x7	# (DIE (0x57) DW_TAG_subprogram)
	.long	0x6d	# DW_AT_sibling
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_external
	.ascii "A\0"	# DW_AT_name
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_artificial
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_declaration
	.byte	0x0	# end of children of DIE 0x57
	.uleb128 0x8	# (DIE (0x6d) DW_TAG_subprogram)
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_external
	.ascii "A\0"	# DW_AT_name
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_artificial
	.byte	0x1	# DW_AT_declaration
	.byte	0x0	# end of children of DIE 0x6d
	.byte	0x0	# end of children of DIE 0x25

The weird thing is that operator= gets a linkage name, but the
constructors don't.  I don't think we're prepared to deal with this;
it would explain some weirdnesses that I've seen elsewhere, where
trying to look up a class returns that class's constructor instead.

Is this a known GCC issue?  (The above is with GCC 3.2; for GCC
mainline, the debug info for A isn't there at all, but that's a
separate issue.)  If so, in what circumstances does it occur?
