Not emitting the abstract origin attribute would be easy. This will give a die with no type or size info, which is pretty useless. I suspect gdb will give a reasonable error message instead of failing, but haven't tried it yet. For a slightly more complicated change, we could check to see if the abstract origin attribute was emitted, and if not, then treat it like a non-inlined local variable. This would allow the user to still be able to look at the variable, but the output would be a little confusing since the debugger would claim that we have a variable that doesn't exist in the source code. My IA-64 machine is tied up with patch testing at the moment, so I can't do much more with this until tomorrow. Jim
