Bug ID: 61071 Summary: With certain configurations of variables on function's stack, when debugging 32bit binary compiled with '-fsanitize=address', some variables in gdb are printed out as '<optimized out>' despite passing '-O0 -ggdb3' in compilation switches. Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: sanitizer Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: athantor+gccbugzilla at athi dot pl CC: dodji at gcc dot gnu.org, dvyukov at gcc dot gnu.org, jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, kcc at gcc dot gnu.org Created attachment 32739 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=32739&action=edit testcase Description: With certain configurations of variables on function's stack, when debugging 32bit binary compiled with '-fsanitize=address', some variables in gdb are printed out as '<optimized out>' despite passing '-O0 -ggdb3' in compilation switches. Problem occurres (for me) only when debugging 32bit binary; same code in 64bit works OK. It doesn't matter if I'm cross compiling it 64b→32b nor if I compile it natively on i386 version of Arch. It was working OK with gcc <4.9. Additional info: Linux kk 3.14.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Apr 27 11:28:44 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc 4.9.0 gdb 7.7 glibc 2.19 binutils 2.24 Steps to reproduce: 1) Compile attached source file with gcc -m32 -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-variable -fsanitize=address -ggdb3 -O0 -o test test.c 2) gdb it with: gdb --ex 'b main' --ex 'r' --ex 'p d' --ex 'q' ./test If you'll compile with ASAN, gdb will show that variable 'd' is optimized out despite '-O0' in gcc switches: Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:10 10 int d = 4; $1 = <optimized out> remove '-fsanitize=address' from switches and gdb works as it should (ignore uninitialized value): Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:10 10 int d = 4; $1 = 134513883 What's funny, if I'll remove zeroing of the 't' array or decrease its size to 36B, then gdb starts to print 'd' OK. In both cases debug info about the 'd' variable seems to be present in the binary: <2><be>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable) <bf> DW_AT_name : d <c1> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <c2> DW_AT_decl_line : 11 <c3> DW_AT_type : <0x53>
