Bug ID: 115945
Summary: DW_LNE_set_discriminator emitted right before Special
Opcodes
Product: gcc
Version: 14.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: debug
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: blarsen at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 58672

small cpp code that reproduces the issue
The issue:
When generating line table entries for the attached program, GCC generates the
following list of operations at some point (as printed by readelf):
Copy (view 3)
Set column to 18
Extended opcode 4: set Discriminator to 1
Special opcode 13: advance Address by 0 to 0x401133 and Line by 8 to 11 (view
4)
However, per the DWARF 5 spec section 6.2.5.1, Special Opcodes always clobber
the Discriminator register to be 0, so the extended opcode 4 is superfluous
and, worse, the information is lost, making it harder to unwind the program.
command line:
g++ -fPIC -Og -g gcc_reproducer.cpp
