            Bug ID: 32914
           Summary: dwp is silent on missing dwo references in executable
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.45 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
          Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

There are two ways to specify input dwo files for dwp.

Either:
- you specify dwo files explicitly, or 
- you specify an executable, and then dwp has to find the dwo references in the
  executable. 

Now say we don't specify an executable, and no dwo files either, we get a fatal
error:
...
$ dwp -o a.out.dwp
/home/vries/binutils/install/bin/dwp: fatal error: no input files and no
executable specified
...

However, say we generate an a.out without dwo file references:
...
$ g++ test.cc -g
$ dwp -e a.out
$
...

That happens silently.

Essentially this is another case of "no input files", and should probably also
produce an error.
