Subject: [Bug symtab/30841] New: [gdb, symtab] gdb-add-index doesn't support .gnu_debugaltlink
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:41:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-30841-4717@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30841

            Bug ID: 30841
           Summary: [gdb, symtab] gdb-add-index doesn't support
                    .gnu_debugaltlink
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Say we have an executable a.out, with a .gnu_debugaltlink to a dwz file a.dwz.

Adding a .gdb_index section to a.out also requires adding a minimal .gdb_index
section to a.dwz.

Our current implementation of gdb-add-index, based on the "save gdb-index"
command (which currently only generates a symbol-file.gdb-index) doesn't
support this.

Supporting this would involve:
- modifying "save gdb-index" to also generate a symbol-file.dwz-gdb-index,
  and
- modifying gdb-add-index to add that as a .gdb_section to the file pointed to
  by the .gnu_debugaltlink.
