------- Additional Comments From bjoern dot m dot haase at web dot de 2005-05-06 14:12 ------- Hi Torleif, I have just had a look at PR19885 and I am having one additional question: IIUC, the lable references, that eventually cause the overflow problems refer to memory in form of "byte" addresses and not "word" addresses: I.e. the offsets and address information you are finding in the elf files all are "byte" addresses. Am I right? In the asm outputs I have investigated so far, I realized that for the lable references in the dwarf sections avr-gcc is allocating two bytes only. So in case that these two bytes are filled with "byte" addresses instead of "word" addresses, it is obvious that an overflow could not be avoided. The cleanest solution then would be to redefine the debugging format such that within the debugging sections for the dwarf symbols, gcc allocates four bytes for the pointers. I fear, however, that this would be a major challenge since one would probably need to rewrite a considerable portion of the dwarf-output-genenerator in a target-specific fashion. If I'm not too wrong, we probably won't have a short term solution for this PR. Anyway, I think that this bug should be marked as NEW. Yours, Björn
