           Summary: DWARF Problems with const int globals
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: drkent@lanl.gov
                CC: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org

I am developing a dynamic instrumentation tool that uses DWARF and have
encountered a few problems that could be from the dwarf information generated by
g++  3.3.

There are a few global variables defined as "const int".  When the tool parses
the binary, it attempts to locate these variables and then gives a
DW_DLV_NO_ENTRY error which means that the attribute is not where the dwarf
information says it is.

I have avoided these problems by changing the global const ints to #define
statments, and the code runs properly.

Please contact me with any questions.
