Description H.J. Lu 2005-02-18 23:18:46 UTC
When I tried to debug the linker from default binutils build, I got

(gdb) b map_sections_to_segments
Function "map_sections_to_segments" not defined.

From readelf -w, I see

<1><a7e8>: Abbrev Number: 75 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
     DW_AT_sibling     : <a97e>
     DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x6801):
map_sections_to_segments
     DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
     DW_AT_decl_line   : 3405
     DW_AT_prototyped  : 1
     DW_AT_type        : <942>
     DW_AT_inline      : 1      (inlined)

The line number looks right. Gdb should be able to figure something
out.

FYI, Intel't idb has no problem with it.

Comment 3 Jan Kratochvil 2007-01-02 02:00:43 UTC
Confirming this feature is not present, neither in upstream CVS:

dwarf2read.c: process_die ():
    case DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine:
      /* FIXME:  These are ignored for now.
         They could be used to set breakpoints on all inlined instances
         of a function and make GDB `next' properly over inlined functions.  */
      break;


Comment 4 Jan Kratochvil 2007-01-02 02:05:10 UTC
*** Bug 149126 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Andrew Cagney 2007-12-10 18:38:13 UTC
This is an upstream problem; close the bug with category "UPSTREAM".

Comment 7 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-01-06 03:21:58 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 8 Jay Turner 2011-02-15 15:21:20 UTC
Just a tad over 3 years . . . can this be closed out or should it be re-prioritized for recent Fedora development?

Comment 9 Jan Kratochvil 2011-02-15 15:26:26 UTC
It is still a valid Bug, it is occasionally discussed as one of the next TODO items.
