--- Comment #6 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-16 15:32:01 UTC --- So, it seems this comes from a DW_TAG_GNU_call_site with (symbol_ref:DI ("read_string.constprop.0") [flags 0x43] <function_decl 0x7ffff1d47000 read_string.constprop.0>) as DW_AT_abstract_origin, which during resolve_addr results in force_decl_die. read_string.constprop.0 is DECL_EXTERNAL FUNCTION_DECL with DECL_CONTEXT being TRANSLATION_UNIT_DECL and DECL_ABSTRACT_ORIGIN of read_string.
