[PATCH] libdw: dwarf_formsdata should return a signed value

2018-01-13 Thread Petr Machata
The function dwarf_formsdata is used for decoding signed values, but
except for the variable-length DW_FORM_sdata, it uses unsigned
primitives to decode the value. This is not a problem for 64-bit values,
but the smaller values come decoded wrong. Fix by changing to signed
primitives for decoding the fixed-length forms.

Add a test case that uses dwarf_aggregate_size to determine an array
size whose lower bound is -1, encoded using DW_FORM_data1, and upper
bound 255 with DW_FORM_data2. When the -1 is decoded wrongly, it comes
back as 255, and the array size is 1. The correct array size should be
257.

Regarding testfile-sizes4.s, that's a product of a TCL script written using
dwarf.exp from GDB. I can post it as well (actually would prefer it like
that),but I think you bounced it before already (I found a TCL script foranother
test case from way back in my elfutils directory. I seem to recall you
didn'tlike this approach for whatever reason.)

Ha, cool! Can / should I use it next time I have stuff to send?

I forgot to switch the gmail web interface to plain text. Yeah, I know.

I got a bounce message.
