When loading the debug info package libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug from openSUSE Leap 15.2, we run into a dwarf error: ... $ gdb -q -batch libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug Dwarf Error: Cannot not find DIE at 0x18a936e7 \ [from module libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug] ... The DIE @ 0x18a936e7 does in fact exist, and is part of a CU @ 0x18a23e52. No error message is printed when using -readnow. What happens is the following: - a dwarf2_per_cu_data P is created for the CU. - a dwarf2_cu A is created for the same CU. - another dwarf2_cu B is created for the same CU. - the dwarf2_cu B is set in per_objfile->m_dwarf2_cus, such that per_objfile->get_cu (P) returns B. - P->load_all_dies is set to 1. - all dies are read into the A->partial_dies htab - dwarf2_cu A is destroyed. - we try to find the partial_die for the DIE @ 0x18a936e7 in B->partial_dies. We can't find it, but do not try to load all dies, because P->load_all_dies is already set to 1. - an error message is generated. The question is why we're creating dwarf2_cu A and B for the same CU. The dwarf2_cu A is created here: ...

So in frame #9, a cutu_reader is created with dwarf2_cu A. Then a fixup takes us to the following CU @ 0x18aa33d6, in frame #5. And a similar fixup in frame #4 takes us back to CU @ 0x18a23e52. At that point, there's no information available that we're already trying to read that CU, and we end up creating another cutu_reader with dwarf2_cu B. It seems that there are two related problems: - creating two dwarf2_cu's is not optimal - the unoptimal case is not handled correctly This patch addresses the last problem, by moving the load_all_dies flag from dwarf2_per_cu_data to dwarf2_cu, such that it is paired with the partial_dies field, which ensures that the two can be kept in sync. Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/ChangeLog: 2021-05-27 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR symtab/27898 * dwarf2/cu.c (dwarf2_cu::dwarf2_cu): Add load_all_dies init. * dwarf2/cu.h (dwarf2_cu): Add load_all_dies field. * dwarf2/read.c (load_partial_dies, find_partial_die): Update. * dwarf2/read.h (dwarf2_per_cu_data::dwarf2_per_cu_data): Remove load_all_dies init.

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.
