g++ fails to generate debug info for some methods. Please refer to the
following files, posted here: http://www.adam-mckee.net/files/gccbug
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii : to reproduce the bug
TotalCostEvaluator_ok.ii : my workaround (debug info is generated properly)
readelf_bug.txt : readELF output shows no debug info generated
for 'tsPerDay', a local within TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost()
readelf_ok.txt : debug info is properly generated for 'tsPerDay'
as well as all other locals belonging to TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost().
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you compile TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii, like this:
=== compilation command =====================================================
g++ -g -march=athlon-xp -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -fstrict-aliasing -c
-o TotalCostEvaluator.o TotalCostEvaluator.ii
=============================================================================
then run 'readelf -wi TotalCostEvaluator.o' - you will see that no debug info
has been generated for any local variables belonging to
cse::TotalCostEvaluator::cslistCost().
I did some testing, and found out that debug info would be properly generated
for cslistCost() if I change the way I write a template function
(deleteMapSecond), which is called by cslistCost(). If you compare
TotalCostEvaluator_ok.ii with TotalCostEvaluator_bug.ii you'll see the change I
made, which apparently causes gcc to generate debug info properly in this case.
This is the first time I filed a bug report for gcc. I wasn't sure how to
attach files so I thought it easiest to just make the files available from my
web server.
Here's some other information that you might want:
