------- Comment #2 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-07-27 10:39 ------- One of these DW_TAG_variable DIEs at the DW_TAG_namespace scope is created from declare_in_namespace when processing decls_for_scope of a lexical block. The other one comes from declare_in_namespace from dwarf2out_global_decl from wrapup_globals_for_namespace. The problem is that the C++ FE doesn't unify externs, so the debugger sees different decls with the same name, but different DECL_UID. So for say namespace N { int i; void foo (void) { { extern int i; i++; } { extern int i; i++; } { extern int i; i++; } { extern int i; i++; } } } there will be 5 DW_TAG_variable DIEs in DW_TAG_namespace.
