Since commit
27012aba8a6 "Remove Irix 6 workaround from DWARF abbrev reader"
we have:
...
(gdb) file dw2-cu-size^M
Reading symbols from dw2-cu-size...^M
DW_FORM_strp pointing outside of .debug_str section [in module dw2-cu-size]^M
(No debugging symbols found in dw2-cu-size)^M
(gdb) ptype noloc^M
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-cu-size.exp: ptype noloc
...
The problem is a missing .debug_abbrev terminator in dw2-cu-size.S, which
causes the .debug_abbrev contribution to be merged with the next:
...
Number TAG (0x9b)
1 DW_TAG_compile_unit [has children]
DW_AT_name DW_FORM_string
DW_AT_producer DW_FORM_string
DW_AT_language DW_FORM_data1
DW_AT value: 0 DW_FORM value: 0
2 DW_TAG_variable [no children]
DW_AT_name DW_FORM_string
DW_AT_type DW_FORM_ref4
DW_AT_external DW_FORM_flag
DW_AT value: 0 DW_FORM value: 0
3 DW_TAG_base_type [no children]
DW_AT_name DW_FORM_string
DW_AT_byte_size DW_FORM_data1
DW_AT_encoding DW_FORM_data1
DW_AT value: 0 DW_FORM value: 0
4 DW_TAG_const_type [no children]
DW_AT_type DW_FORM_ref_udata
DW_AT value: 0 DW_FORM value: 0
1 DW_TAG_compile_unit [has children]
DW_AT_producer DW_FORM_strp
DW_AT_language DW_FORM_data1
DW_AT_name DW_FORM_strp
DW_AT_comp_dir DW_FORM_strp
DW_AT_low_pc DW_FORM_addr
DW_AT_high_pc DW_FORM_data8
DW_AT_stmt_list DW_FORM_sec_offset
DW_AT value: 0 DW_FORM value: 0
...
and consequently, abbreviation code 1 no longer refers to a unique entry.
The eventually causes us to access the first attribute of this DIE:
...
<0><124>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
<125> DW_AT_name : file1.txt
<12f> DW_AT_producer : GNU C 3.3.3
<13b> DW_AT_language : 1 (ANSI C)
...
which has form DW_FORM_string, using DW_FORM_strp.
Fix this by adding the missing .debug_abbrev terminator in dw2-cu-size.S.
