The test-case gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges.exp is the only one in the gdb testsuite that uses gas-generated stabs. While the use seems natural alongside the use of gas-generated dwarf in the same test-case, there are a few known issues, filed on the gdb side as: - PR symtab/12497 - "stabs: PIE relocation does not work" - PR symtab/28221 - "[readnow, stabs] FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges.exp: \ info line func" and on the gas side as: - PR gas/28233 - "[gas, --gstabs] Generate stabs more similar to gcc" The test-case contains a KFAIL for PR12497, but it's outdated and fails to trigger. The intention of the test-case is to test gas-generated dwarf, and using gcc-generated stabs instead of gas-generated stabs works fine. Supporting compiler-generated stabs is already a corner-case for gdb, and there's no current commitment/incentive to support/workaround gas-generated stabs, which can be considered a corner-case of a corner-case. Work around these problem by using compiler-generated stabs in the test-case. Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2021-08-22 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges.exp: Use compiler-generated stabs.

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.
