dwarf2dbg.c -- line 1476 of CVS version 1.81:
p[len] = '/';
This inserts a filesystem separator character when tacking the source filename
back onto the source
directory when providing the source-file's path for DWARF2 debugging
information. HOWEVER in
Windows systems where the filename has been specified in Windows format, i.e.
C:\Workspaces\Eclipse
\Blinky\init.s, this creates a filename in the DWARF2 debugging information
that looks like C:
\Workspaces\Eclipse\Blinky/init.s -- and boy does that confuse ARM's Realview
debugger for my ARM-
based embedded system.
You may ask why I'm doing this ... a fair question ... I am tied to the
Realview debugger because of my
particular JTAG interface, but the Realview debugger does not understand the
default CYGWIN
embedded pathnames of /cygdrive/c/workspaces/eclipse/blinky/*. It wants
Windows-format
pathnames to be able to find the source files corresponding to the executable.
By specifying the
absolute Windows pathname in the call to as and gcc, this is accomplished OK!
Or at least it was for
gcc.
Sorry if I'm not filling in the bugzilla fields correctly, I'm new to this.
