Hi all, Would you please review the attached patch containing modification of assert condition. It was required to fix an abort which seem to be incorrect. There is an assert condition as "ref && ref->die_dup == NULL". As per definition of "struct dw_die", the structure fields starting from 'die_dup' are present only if 'die_toplevel' is 1. In line with this at multiple places in code, full/paritial memory is allocated for pointer of type dw_die. Ex. die = pool_alloc (dw_die, offsetof (struct dw_die, die_dup)); Due to this, since memory is not allocated for field die_dup onwards, it may contain junk values. Macro 'die_safe_dupe' must be used in place of directly accessing 'die_dup' field whenever required. * dwz.c (write_types): Use 'die_safe_dup' to access field 'die_dup'. Regards, Alok
