There was an out-by-one error, the upper bound was being set to count whereas it should be count - 1. This was causing drd/tests/atomic_var to fail because the g_dummy array seemed to overlap the following s_y variable. This seems only to have been caused by clang, not GCC, which presumably supplies lower and upper bound rather than lower bound and count.
On 4 Apr 06, the debuginfo reader (m_debuginfo) was majorly cleaned up
and restructured. It has been a bit of a tangle for a while. On 18 Sep 14
the STABS support was completely removed. The new structure looks like this:
debuginfo.c
readelf.c
readdwarf.c
storage.c
Each .c can only call those below it on the page.
storage.c contains the SegInfo structure and stuff for
maintaining/searching arrays of symbols, line-numbers, and Dwarf CF
info records.
readdwarf.c parses the relevant kind of info and call storage.c to
store the results.
readelf.c reads ELF format, hands syms directly to storage.c,
then delegates to readdwarf.c for debug info. All straightforward.
debuginfo.c is the top-level file, and is quite small.
There are 2 goals to this:
(1) Generally tidy up something which needs tidying up
(2) Introduce more modularity, so as to make it easier to add
readers for other formats, if needed
Rationale for (1) and (2) are obvious.
Originally there was also goal (3) Simplify the stabs reader.
But stabs support was broken since 3.9.0 and completely removed in 3.10.0.
The worst thing is that it is the stabs type reader that was crashing,
not the stabs line-number reader.
Old versions of the stabs type reader can be found in the subversion repository
as m_debuginfo/UNUSED_STABS.txt, the stabs line-number reader was in
m_debuginfo/readstabs.c. The old version of this file explained more
about the setup.
