--- Comment #2 from Ralf Habacker <ralf.habacker at freenet dot de> --- (In reply to Ralf Habacker from comment #1) > It doesn't seem to be so easy to find the appropriate place. Is there a way > to output the file and line where bfd_set_error() is called ? It looks like there is no such option for end users. The only supported option seems to be using a debugger and setting a breakpoint in the hope that you don't reach the appropriate one at some point. In the specific case this is: #0 bfd_set_error (error_tag=error_tag@entry=bfd_error_bad_value) at ../../bfd/bfd.c:800 #1 0x0000555555555c942a in bfd_set_section_contents (abfd=abfd@entry=0x555555557233b0, section=0x555555557253a8, location=<optimized out>, offset=<optimized out>, count=<optimized out>) at ../../bfd/section.c:1509 #2 0x00005555555de5f0 in _bfd_coff_link_input_bfd (flaginfo=flaginfo@entry=0x7fffffffe090, input_bfd=input_bfd@entry=0x55555b626720) at ../../bfd/cofflink.c:2509 #3 0x0000555555555df937 in _bfd_coff_final_link (abfd=<optimized out>, info=0x55555555700de0 <link_info>) at ../../bfd/cofflink.c:898 #4 0x00005555555559af8e in ldwrite () at ../../ld/ldwrite.c:550 #5 0x0000555555582bfe in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at ../../ld/ldmain.c:528 The generated file has the following size at this point -rw-r--r-- 1 abuild abuild 3087021376 Jun 26 14:22 Qt5WebKit.dll and the error is triggered in the following function: 1490 bfd_set_section_contents (bfd *abfd, 1491 sec_ptr section, 1492 const void *location, 1493 file_ptr offset,1494 bfd_size_type count)1495 {1496 bfd_size_type sz;14971498 if (!(bfd_section_flags (section) & SEC_HAS_CONTENTS))1499 { 1500 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_no_contents); 1501 return false; 1502 } 1503 1504 sz = section->size; 1505 if ((bfd_size_type) offset > sz 1506 count > sz - offset 1507 count != (size_t) count) 1508 { 1509 bfd_set_error (bfd_error_bad_value); 1510 return false; 1511 } After inspecting the individual values: (gdb) p o->output_offset $17 = 2762844077 (gdb) p loc $18 = <optimized out> (gdb) p o->size $19 = 4898386 and interpretation is obtained: offset 2762844077 sz 2764867072 section_size count 4898386 sz-offset 2022995 The checked conditions 1505: Offset > sz --> no 1506: Count > sz - offset -> yes show that the comparison in line 1506 leads to the error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
