Subject: Size of DW_FORM_ref_addr in DWARF 3 and the archer-jankratochvil-fedora13 branch
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:39:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1271777933.28610.63.camel@wsjoost.cnoc.lan> (raw)

Hi all,

Since Dwarf 3 the length of a DW_FORM_ref_addr entry is not dependent on
the pointer size of the target platform, but on the used Dwarf-format
(32 bit or 64 bit) for the current compilation section.

When I load a project with Dwarf-3 debug information with fsf-gdb head,
it works. But not with the archer-jankratochvil-fedora13 branch. That
version assumes that the length of a DW_FORM_ref_addr on 64 bit is
always 64 bits, which is not the case.

Is it planned to merge this fix from fsf-gdb to
archer-jankratochvil-fedora13? How is this normally handled?

Regards,

Joost van der Sluis.
