+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #227167 +++ Description of problem: calling dwfl_module_addrname on a symbol with a st_size of 0 returns null when it should return the symbol size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.125 How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create assembly test with code for a function with no symbol size. That segfaults. 2. Run the program and try to get a backtrace using dwfl_module_addrname. Actual results: Get null. Expected results: Get foo(). Additional info: Check out the patch for a possible solution. -- Additional comment from npremji on 2007-02-02 16:30 EST -- Created an attachment (id=147253) Patch to implement finding addrname of functions with st_size=0. -- Additional comment from npremji on 2007-02-02 16:32 EST -- Created an attachment (id=147254) A program with a function foo with st_size = 0, that segfaults in foo. -- Additional comment from roland on 2007-02-03 14:39 EST -- I've done a different fix.
