Bug #: 54205 Summary: recursive .debug_macro inclusions Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: debug AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: tro...@gcc.gnu.org Created attachment 27963 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=27963 readelf output I built git master gcc today. Then I ran the libstdc++ pretty-printer tests. One of these tests (48362.cc) caused gdb to die, so I investigated. It turns out that gcc is emitting recursive DW_MACRO_GNU_transparent_include calls in .debug_macro. I previously thought I fixed this problem in http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13568 -- but the fix was insufficient; and in any case I think gcc should not do this. I'm attaching the readelf dump of the section so you can see the issue.
