Subject: [patch] Workaround buggy GCC PR 47510 produced code
Hi,
GCC PR debug/47510 is already fixed and GDB has the proper support for it:
RFC: update for GCC PR 47510
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00916.html
Still FSF GDB HEAD will crash on a binary produced by older/buggy GCC:
Reading symbols from .../gcc46.o...dwarf2read.c:9329: internal-error: could not find partial DIE 0x9a in cache [from module .../gcc46.o]
Which may not give much clue to the user.
The proposed patch could make false warnings if any code out there has
DW_TAG_typedef with children, it does not check for specific GCC versions.
Still such DWARF is invalid, although in such case complaint() would be more
appropriate than warning(). Does it make sense to differentiate it?
No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora15-linux-gnu.
Thanks,
Jan

* dwarf2read.c (struct dwarf2_per_objfile): New field
typedef_children_warning_printed.
(load_partial_dies): Read in any children of DW_TAG_typedef with
a warning in such case.
