You can see this in action with the Emacs mode -- if it > did not stop, you'd get the whole CU inserted when expanding a "...". This seems somewhat user unfriendly. How is one supposed to pick the "correct" N? In the case that --dwarf-start=DIE is given, but --dwarf-depth=N is not, it really should default to --dwarf-depth=DIE-depth. Otherwise you just keep dumping completely unrelated DIEs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
