Fixed In Version:	elfutils-0.162-1.el7
Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	The following changes and improvements have been made to the eu-addr2line tool: - Input addresses are now always interpreted as hexadecimal numbers, never as octal or decimal numbers. - A new option, "-a", "--addresses", to print address before each entry. - A new option, "-C", "--demangle", to show demangled symbols. - A new option, "--pretty-print", to print all information on one line. As a result, it is possible to use eu-addr2line as drop-in replacement for binutils addr2line.

Description Mark Wielaard 2015-05-20 10:53:19 EDT

Description of problem:

eu-addr2line can mostly be used as replacement for binutils addr2line. eu-addr2line adds support for query binaries with separate debuginfo and process maps that binutils addr2line doesn't support. But it isn't a complete drop in replacement since it is missing some compatibility options. In particular it is missing the --pretty-print option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

elfutils-0.160-1.el7

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ eu-addr2line --pretty-print

Actual results:

eu-addr2line: unrecognized option '--pretty-print'

Expected results:

pretty printed output

Additional info:

Upstream has some proposed patches that would make eu-addr2line be more compatible with binutils addr2line:

Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2015-06-11 11:15:11 EDT

elfutils 0.162 has been released upstream.
So this will likely be resolved through bug #1224169.
