Description Tom Stellard 2022-03-14 23:24:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Debug info emits an error when processing a binary compiled by clang with DWARF5: "Unknown DWARF DW_FORM_0x25"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
debugedit-5.0-3.fc36.x86_64.rpm                                                                                                     

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

On rawhide or Fedora 36:

1. dnf copr enable @fedora-llvm-team/llvm14
2. dnf install clang debugedit
3. echo 'int main(){}' | clang -x c - -g
4. debugedit a.out

Actual results:
Program exits with error:
debugedit: a.out: Unknown DWARF DW_FORM_0x25

Expected results:
Program exits successfully.

Additional info:
clang14 is not yet in rawhide, but once it is, this bug causes koji build failures for packages built with clang.

Given this isn't the only tools issue with clang produced DWARF5 (at least dwz and valgrind don't support it either) I'll suggest that clang defaults to DWARF4 for now till all tools are updated to handle the new DWARF forms.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2022-08-09 13:13:52 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 00:10:04 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
