------- Comment #3 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-08-07 14:32 -------
The result of eu-readelf looks OK, however, since I read "module" for item 175,
I wonder whether this is a problem that gdb is too old. There was a change (I
think in the later stages of 4.4.0) which wrote the proper DWARF_MODULE* to the
ELF binary. However, gdb did ignore that bit. There was a fix for the gdb trunk
which allows to handle those DWARF_MODULEs in some way. (The patches on the
Fedora branch added the proper handling of module variables.)
I am not sure whether this is the real problem since "nerr" is not a module
variable but a local variable of a module procedure, but I wonder whether
nevertheless this could be the problem.
[ 175] module
decl_line 1
[ 180] subprogram
external
name "dummy"
decl_line 4
[ 19c] variable
name "nerr"
The Fedora branch can be found at
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=archer.git;a=summary and the patches also support
Fortran 95 style arrays (i.e. those using an array descriptor).
