Hi, I was reading the DWARF5 proposal Issue 130121.1 Default Location List Entry http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=130121.1 and was wondering how to interpret the phrase "(provided that address is within the containing module)" from the introduction.
In the actual text of the proposal there is no limit imposed on the default location list entry. It is just described as an unlimted number of address ranges, none of which overlap any of the addresss ranges defined earlier in the same location list. So I was wondering whether any limitation is implied or not. For example a Data Object DIE that has a DW_AT_location loclistptr that includes a default entry. Would the default entry address ranges of the default location list entry be constrained by the owning DIE of the Data Object (given by the DW_AT_low_pc and DW_AT_high_pc pair or DW_AT_ranges attribute in that owning DIE)? Or does the presence of the default entry imply that the location of the Data Object keeps valid even outside the owning DIE range (for example because it is a static C variable inside a function)?
