gcc-4.5 + gdb dwarf problems

gcc-4.5 + gdb dwarf problems

[Reini Urban]

Hi
I think I've found an issue with the new gcc-4.5 with latest gdb.

I only experience these problems in the gdb debugger, when the
sourceline for the function is wrong,
but inspecting the dwarf output, esp the line info via objdump -Wl looks good.
objdump -Sgl also looks good.

objdump: The path of the source files resolves to something wrong in
objdump -Wl.

gdb: If linked with a library as dll  (cygperl.dll in my case) the
arguments are not displayed in the debugger,
if linked to a static .a or .o, the arguments are displayed okay.

E.g. debugging perl linked to the static libperl.a like
gcc-4 -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -march=pentium4
-mfpmath=sse -mieee-fp -mmmx -msse -msse2 -DDEBUGGING
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/CORE -g3
ccode27_o2.c -o ccode27_o2    -Wl,--enable-auto-import
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--stack,8388608
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base -fstack-protector -L/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/auto/Win32CORE/Win32CORE.a
/usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/CORE/libperl.a
/usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/CORE/DynaLoader.a
-ldl -lcrypt
=>

objdump -WL -S -gl ccode27_o2.exe|less

CU: /usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/CORE/ccode27_o2.c:
but the /ccode27_o2.c is in ./, the line info is correct here. I can
debug into it fine.
next obj is
CU: /usr/include/sys/gv.c:
File name                            Line number    Starting address
gv.c                                          45            0x406f98

And this is in /usr/lib/perl5/5.13.5/i686-nothreads-debug-cygwin/CORE/
not in /usr/include/sys/

I've crosschecked with mingw gdb-7.1 and the linenumber
looks better there.

Just the arguments for functions inside the dll are also not displayed:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x54a4d00b in Perl_pad_undef ()
   from D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\cygperl5_13_5d-nt@1fdb04e0.dll

vs.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00552f6b in Perl_pad_undef (cv=0x2323d60) at pad.c:290
290                     && *SvPVX_const(namesv) == '&')
