Subject: Query about debug info
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2003 09:32:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030402075030.44951.qmail@web8203.mail.in.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi Everyone,

I am curious about debugging information generation 
for user symbols. From dwarfout.c file, I could deduce
that DECL_RTL, PARM_DECL etc are some of the interface

used to output debug info. (I was looking 
at location_or_const_value_attribute () function)

1) Is the same mechanism used for other debugging
formats too?

2) There are some cases in gcc/testsuite/debug
directory which scan generated assembly for "xyzzy"
string. I want to understand the rationale of those 
test cases. To be specific let us consider
  gcc.dg/debug/debug-6.c.
 Why "xyzzy" occur in assembly output (with -g)?
 and what if it doesn't come after some code 
 modification.(Which direction to explore ?)
 
Thanks and Regards,
Leon.
