Bug ID: 31979 Summary: DW_LNE_set_discriminator emitted right before Special Opcodes Product: binutils Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gas Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: blarsen at redhat dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 15627 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=15627&action=edit small cpp code that reproduces the issue When creating the linetable for the attached cpp file with the command line `gcc -fPIC -Og -g`, gas generates the following instructions for the last entry related to line 11: [0x00000062] Set column to 18 [0x00000064] Extended opcode 4: set Discriminator to 1 [0x00000068] Special opcode 13: advance Address by 0 to 0x401133 and Line by 8 to 11 (view 4) Setting the discriminator here is futile, since the DWARF 5 section 6.2.5.1 says that Special opcodes will always set the Discriminator to 0 and immediately do a Copy, so the information is lost. In cases where Discriminator is set, Gas shouldn't emit special opcodes. There is another case with this exact pattern happening, for line 14. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
