--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-01-24 20:24:18 UTC --- It seems that I read the wrong frame info in my original report. However, the bug still exists. Here is a new and hopefully more correct example showing the bug. I used a relatively recent git master gcc for this. I just followed the directions in the original report. The static link info for 'nested': <aa> DW_AT_static_link : 1 byte block: 50 (DW_OP_reg0 (rax)) In the 'nested' frame this is: (gdb) p/x $rax $1 = 0x7fffffffe370 In the outer 'nestee' frame: (gdb) p $pc $2 = (void (*)()) 0x4004e9 <nestee+99> The frame info as shown by readelf --debug-dump=frames-interp: 00000060 00000024 00000064 FDE cie=00000000 pc=00400486..004004fe LOC CFA rbx rbp ra 0000000000400486 rsp+8 u u c-8 0000000000400487 rsp+16 u c-16 c-8 000000000040048a rbp+16 u c-16 c-8 000000000040048f rbp+16 c-24 c-16 c-8 <--- this row 00000000004004fd rsp+8 c-24 c-16 c-8 So the CFA we want is $rbp + 16 in the outermost 'nestee' frame: (gdb) p/x $rbp + 16 $3 = 0x7fffffffe3b0 ... but this is different from $1.
