Using addr2line to display all inlined functions referenced by an address often
fails with our code. The outermost function is marked as unknown, even though
source and line information is available and objdump can be used to identify
the
function.
For example:
addr2line -C -f -i -e libpolicy_enforcement.so 0x12ffa7

/home/brad/root/scorpius/main/src/policy/policy_enforcement/afl/afl_section.cpp:

Tracing the code, the problem seems to be in
bfd/dwarf2.c:scan_unit_for_symbols.
When the code goes through the func attributes, it does not handle the case
where the function has a DW_AT_specification and points to a previous
declaration for its name. This seems to occur frequently for nested functions.
The following patch to dwarf2.c (based on binutils-2.20.51) fixes the issue for
me:
--- binutils-modified/bfd/dwarf2.c 2010-09-29 10:44:40.000000000 -0400
+++ binutils-2.20.51/bfd/dwarf2.c 2010-07-14 18:18:07.000000000 -0400

{
switch (attr.name)
{
- case DW_AT_specification:
- func->name = find_abstract_instance_name (unit, &attr);
- break;
-
case DW_AT_call_file:
func->caller_file = concat_filename (unit->line_table,
attr.u.val);
Now running the same command with the updated addr2line gives the following
output:
addr2line -C -f -i -e libpolicy_enforcement.so 0x12ffa7
