PR19769 is fixed in 4.0.0-0.36 and above (and 4.0.0-0.30 .. -0.35 had a workaround in the headers). I can debug Java compiled programs just fine with 4.0.0-0.39, you'll need to be more specific on what exactly you compiled and what you are doing in the debugger. I am hitting it with both Java and C++ programs. Here's an easy example: install firefox and firefox-debuginfo from rawhide. Then edit /usr/bin/firefox and change MOZARGS= to MOZARGS=-g Run firefox, click Run in ddd, and observe that gdb crashes (usually with this DWARF error, although sometimes it just aborts.) This is on fc4test1. So I ran strace -e trace=file -p `pidof gdb` and I found that gdb is consistently crashing after it reads the file /usr/lib/debug//usr/lib/firefox-1.0.2/components/libxpconnect.so.debug (see attachment) Created attachment 112745 [details]
Last screenfull of strace output before gdb errored out
And sure enough, it is that file. (The build date for firefox-1.0.2-3 is given as Mon 28 Mar 2005 21:22:05 BST, by the way.) # gdb /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.2/components/libxpconnect.so GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.10rh) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n The same error happens when I do, in my local source tree: gdb /usr/src/mozilla/dist/lib/components/libxpconnect.so So this issue definitely still exists in gcc-4.0.0-0.39. The broken object file is mozilla/js/src/xpconnect/src/xpcjsid.o. Filing as http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20805 Fix has landed upstream on trunk. Requesting inclusion of the fix in FC4, because this bug could hinder people wanting to report or fix bugs in C++ and Java code. Should be fixed in gcc-4.0.0-1 in rawhide. |
