Subject: Displaying variables from namespace with strange DWARF info
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2020 18:13:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEnSbcyDoxiNozen0mApZEmb7fCUjG-VeGKJZ6aZim06LfYVMw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I've got an ELF file compiled with a proprietary C/C++ compiler, where the
project contains namespaces.

I’ve parsed DWARF info and it reveals that variables sitting in namespace
have their names fully qualified, like AAA::BBB::name.

Another point, the compilation unit marked as C89 source regardless of C++
source file taken as input file.

And there are no attributes ’ DW_AT_namespace’ found in DWARF info.
(Checked same project with ARM compiler and yes, there are those attributes)
As a result, the variables from namespaces are neither displayed as
variables nor as expressions. Is there any chance to teach gdb how to
process such names?

Regards,
Stanislav.
