             Bug #: 14507
           Summary: failed to compute dwarf2-CFA when unwinder of caller
                    frame is unknown.
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: backtrace
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jojelino@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Created attachment 6598
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6598
the source i tried to debug.

i think gdb 7.1 didn't complain like following. but i got unexpected `error
reading variable: can't compute CFA for this frame'
anyway, the following is mmap test debug session.
and in cygwin host, i tried to breakpoint mmap64(a.k.a mmap)
cygwin replaces its return address to sigbe so gdb cannot find its caller
frame.(hence sigbe of sigfe.s doesn't contain any cfi information.)
the problem is, it resulted in displaying incorrect frame info about the callee
frame which has correct dwarf-2 CFI, whose caller doesn't have CFI.
