--- Comment #2 from Tom de Vries <vries at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Tom de Vries from comment #0) > The second operand is now also a .uleb128. AFAIU, this goes against the > spec. Also, gdb doesn't get it: ... $ gdb -q -batch -readnow a.out DW_FORM_strp pointing outside of .debug_str section [in module /home/vries/hello/a.out] ... Debugging shows that the error is due to a large str_offset: ... (gdb) p /x str_offset $14 = 0x8c0502cd ... which matches this: ... .byte 0x5 # Define macro strp .uleb128 0x8b # At line number 139 .uleb128 0x14d # The macro: "stdin stdin" .byte 0x5 # Define macro strp .uleb128 0x8c # At line number 140 .uleb128 0x24 # The macro: "stdout stdout" ... Note that the uleb128 representation of 0x14d is "cd02".
