With a hello world a.out, and using the compiler flags from target board
dwarf5-fission-debug-types:
...
$ gcc -gdwarf-5 -fdebug-types-section -gsplit-dwarf ~/data/hello.c
...
I run into:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'
...
What happens is that an error is thrown due to invalid dwarf, but the error is
not caught, causing gdb to terminate.
In a way, this is a duplicate of PR32861, in the sense that we no longer run
into this after:
- applying the proposed patch (work around compiler bug), or
- using gcc 9 or newer (compiler bug fixed).
But in this case, the failure mode is worse than in PR32861.
Fix this by catching the error in
cooked_index_worker_debug_info::process_skeletonless_type_units.
With the patch, we get instead:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out
Offset from DW_FORM_GNU_str_index or DW_FORM_strx pointing outside of \
.debug_str.dwo section in CU at offset 0x0 [in module a.out]
...
While we're at it, absorb the common use of
cooked_index_worker_result::note_error:
...
try
{
...
}
catch (gdb_exception &exc)
{
(...).note_error (std::move (exc));
}
...
into the method and rename it to catch_error, resulting in more compact code
for the fix:
...
(...).catch_error ([&] ()
{
...
});
...
While we're at it, also use it in
cooked_index_worker_debug_info::process_units which looks like it needs the
same fix.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
