--- Comment #7 from Jack Howarth <howarth at nitro dot med.uc.edu> 2012-05-24 19:35:09 UTC --- Are we really sure that gen_compile_unit_die() shouldn't being emitting calling add_comp_dir_attribute in this case. It seems that the origin of test... /* Don't add cwd for <built-in>. */ if (!IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH (filename) && filename[0] != '<') add_comp_dir_attribute (die); Dates back to... Author: amylaar Date: Wed Jun 4 17:19:36 2003 UTC (8 years, 11 months ago) Changed paths: 3 Log Message: * c-decl.c (c_init_decl_processing): Clear input_file_name while building common nodes. * dwarf2out.c (gen_compile_unit_die, dwarf2out_finish): Don't add working directory for strings like <built-in> . The reasoning for that change is described in the patch proposal at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00149.html which says... I have found that pch/system-1.c fails on sh-elf because the function that is called by BUILD_VA_LIST_TYPE generates some declarations which end up in the debugging output for this testcase. toplev.c has previously set the input filename to that of the main file - which is different when you compile a header than when you do an ordinary source compilation. This causes an anadorned "system-1.h" to be considered among the source files in the pch case (even though it does nothing but include other header files). When dwarf2out sees an input file without a dir separator, it puts the current working directory in the list of directories to search. The patch was revised a number of times... http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00289.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00151.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00279.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00284.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00289.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00301.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00303.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00308.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-06/msg00337.html Reading through reviews doesn't give much confidence that this code is test is bullet-proof.
