The abbreviations table for a single compilation unit has two types of
terminators:
- a ".byte 0" pair denoting the end of an attribute list
- a single ".byte 0" denoting the end of the table
However, at the end of the .debug_abbrev section in dw2-line-number-zero-dw.S,
we have four ".byte 0" entries:
...
.uleb128 0x12 /* DW_AT_high_pc */
.uleb128 0x01 /* DW_FORM_addr */
.byte 0x0 /* Terminator */
.byte 0x0 /* Terminator */
.byte 0x0 /* Terminator */
.byte 0x0 /* Terminator */
...
The first two are the attribute list terminator, the third is the end-of-table
terminator, and the last is superfluous/incorrect.
Fix this by emitting instead:
...
.uleb128 0x12 /* DW_AT_high_pc */
.uleb128 0x01 /* DW_FORM_addr */
.byte 0x0 /* DW_AT - Terminator */
.byte 0x0 /* DW_FORM - Terminator */
.byte 0x0 /* Abbrev end - Terminator */
...
where the last comment resembles the comment for other abbreviation codes:
...
.section .debug_abbrev
.Labbrev1_begin:
.uleb128 2 /* Abbrev start */
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
