RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Hi. I'm observing that dwarf_aggregate_size() returns bogus results when looking at double-dimensional arrays. For instance, looking at

  double dd[3][5];

It says the aggregate is 64-bytes long instead of 120. The bug is that it ends up computing (3+5)*8 instead of 3*5*8.

I'm attaching a simple test case. It loads the current process's debug information, and prints out the size of dd, defined as above. It shows the failure:

  :/tmp$ gcc -g -ldw -lelf dwarf_aggregate_size_bug.c -o dwarf_aggregate_size_bug

  :/tmp$ ./dwarf_aggregate_size_bug                                              
  Found DIE for 'dd'. size: 64

Version : elfutils-0.168-8.el7
