--- Comment #13 from cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Alan Modra <amo...@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=a4cd947aca23d58966ead843e120f4c19db01030 commit a4cd947aca23d58966ead843e120f4c19db01030 Author: Alan Modra <amo...@gmail.com> Date: Tue Sep 11 23:50:15 2018 +0930 PR23425, unresolved symbol diagnostic dwarf2.c code reasonably assumes that debug info is local to a file, an assumption now violated by gcc, resulting in "DWARF error: invalid abstract instance DIE ref" or wrong details when attempting to print linker error messages with file, function and line reported. This is because find_abstract_instance is only prepared to handle DW_FORM_ref_addr when the .debug_info section referenced is in the current file. When that isn't the case, relocations to access another file's .debug_info will typically be against a symbol defined at the start of that .debug_info section, plus an addend. Since the dwarf2.c code only considers the current file's debug info, that symbol will be undefined, resolving to zero. In effect the ref_addr will wrongly resolve to the current file's .debug_info. This patch avoids the problem by treating relocations in debug sections against undefined symbols in a similar manner to the way relocations against symbols defined in discarded sections are resolved. They result in a zero value (except in .debug_ranges) regardless of the addend. PR 23425 * reloc.c (bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents): Zero reloc fields in debug sections when reloc is against an undefined symbol and called from bfd_simple_get_relocated_section_contents or similar. * dwarf2.c (find_abstract_instance): Return true for zero offset DW_FORM_ref_addr without returning values. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
