This was reported previously here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-November/162154.html A user on irc reported this as well, and with his help and the help of a friend of his, we found that the problem occurred because, when reloading a separate debug objfile, the objfile would lose the OBJF_MAINLINE flag. This would cause some symbols from this separate debug objfile to be marked "maybe_copied" -- but then get_msymbol_address could find the same symbol and fail as reported. This patch fixes the bug by preserving OBJF_MAINLINE. No test case, unfortunately, because I could not successfully make one. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-04-10 Tom Tromey * symfile.c (symbol_file_add_separate): Preserve OBJF_MAINLINE. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index fa05f93a5e5..661a41467bb 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ +2020-04-10 Tom Tromey + + * symfile.c (symbol_file_add_separate): Preserve OBJF_MAINLINE. + 2020-04-10 Tom Tromey * symtab.c (get_symbol_address, get_msymbol_address): Skip diff --git a/gdb/symfile.c b/gdb/symfile.c index bd27a1fefef..61053298a89 100644 --- a/gdb/symfile.c +++ b/gdb/symfile.c @@ -1163,7 +1163,7 @@ symbol_file_add_separate (bfd *bfd, const char *name, symbol_file_add_with_addrs (bfd, name, symfile_flags, &sap, objfile->flags & (OBJF_REORDERED | OBJF_SHARED | OBJF_READNOW - | OBJF_USERLOADED), + | OBJF_USERLOADED | OBJF_MAINLINE), objfile); }
