The arguments to these functions are file_ptr, so these declarations
were accidentally implicitly down-casting them to signed int. This
allows for reading files between 2 and 4 GB in size in my testing (I
don't have a larger dll currently to test). These may not be natively
supported by Windows, but can appear when using split-dwarf information.
This solves a "can't get string table" error resulting from attempting
to pass a negative offset to bfd_seek. I encountered this occuring while
trying to use a debug file for libLLVM.dll, but searching online reveals
at least one other person may have run into a similar problem with
Firefox?

With this patch, the debug file appears to load successfully and I can
see debug information in gdb for the library.

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.
