BACKGROUND: References are to DWARF5 unless otherwise indicated.
The basic issue is that .debug_rnglists is sometimes mentioned as being part of a split-full compilation unit and yet other places say that is incorrect. In other words the standard conflicts with itself. There is clarity in Sec 3.1.2 Skeleton Compil... Page 66,67: (lists a few attributes, not including DW_AT_rnglists_base) "All other attributes of a compilation unit entry are placed in the split full compilation unit." (comment: this makes Table F.1 incorrect) Sec 3.1.3 says DW_AT_rnglists_base is inherited from the skeleton. That is wrong and corrected in DW6. Table F.1 DW5 has no check mark for DW_AT_rnglists_base in Skelton or Split Full Wrong. Table F.1 DW6 has check mark for DW_AT_rnglists_base in Skeleton but not Split Full. Wrong. PROPOSAL: Table F.1, for DW_AT_rnglists_base should have: No check-mark for Skeleton. One check-mark for Split Full. (the check-mark for Full & Partial is correct in DW5 and DW6) David Anderson -- Dwarf-discuss mailing list Dwarf-discuss@lists.dwarfstd.org https://lists.dwarfstd.org/mailman/listinfo/dwarf-discuss
