Bug ID: 60885
Summary: typeless DW_TAG_typedef
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: debug
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pmachata at redhat dot com
GCC emits DW_TAG_typedef without DW_AT_type when the typedef'd type is void:
typedef void VOID;
int foo (VOID *v) {}
$ gcc void.c -g -c
[ 2d] typedef
name (strp) "VOID"
decl_file (data1) 1
decl_line (data1) 1
DWARF4 states:
"""If the debugging information entry for a typedef represents a
declaration of the type that is not also a definition, it does not contain a
type attribute."""
As I understand things, a typedef defines a new type, and as such should
contain a DW_AT_type even though it's void.
