When executing a Line Number program statement, the state machine bails out a few bytes before the current offset reaches the end of section to account for possible padding bytes at the end.
The current test is checking if current_offset + 4 >= section_length, which is too early for e.g. a program terminating with Advance PC by constant 17 to 0x776 Extended opcode 1: End of Sequence at offset 101 for a section with length 105. This change tightens the computation, allowing proper interpretation in the example case above, and explains the rationale. Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk 2017-12-05 Olivier Hainque <hain...@adacore.com> * s-dwalin.adb (Read_And_Execute_Isn): Adjust test checking for the end of section. Add comments explaining the rationale of the computation.
