Consider the DWARF as generated by gcc with the tentative patch to fix gcc PR91507 - "wrong debug for completed array with previous incomplete declaration": ... <1><f4>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_array_type) <f5> DW_AT_type : <0xff> <f9> DW_AT_sibling : <0xff> <2><fd>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_subrange_type) <2><fe>: Abbrev Number: 0 <1><ff>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_pointer_type) <100> DW_AT_byte_size : 8 <101> DW_AT_type : <0x105> <1><105>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_base_type) <106> DW_AT_byte_size : 1 <107> DW_AT_encoding : 6 (signed char) <108> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x19f): char <1><10c>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_variable) <10d> DW_AT_name : zzz <111> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <112> DW_AT_decl_line : 1 <113> DW_AT_decl_column : 14 <114> DW_AT_type : <0xf4> <118> DW_AT_external : 1 <118> DW_AT_declaration : 1 <1><118>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_array_type) <119> DW_AT_type : <0xff> <11d> DW_AT_sibling : <0x128> <1><12f>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable) <130> DW_AT_specification: <0x10c> <134> DW_AT_decl_line : 2 <135> DW_AT_decl_column : 7 <136> DW_AT_type : <0x118> <13a> DW_AT_location : 9 byte block: 3 30 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 (DW_OP_addr: 601030) ... The DWARF will result in two entries in the symbol table, a decl with type char *[] and a def with type char*[2]. When trying to print the value of zzz: ... $ gdb a.spec.out -batch -ex "p zzz" ... the decl (rather than the def) will be found in the symbol table, which is missing the location information, and consequently we get: ... $1 = 0x601030 <zzz> ... [ There is a fallback mechanism that finds the address of the variable in the minimal symbol table, but that's not used here, because the type of the decl does not specify a size. We could use the symbol size here to get the size of the type, but that's currently not done: PR exp/24989. Still, fixing that PR would not fix the generic case, where minimal symbol info is not available. ] Fix this by preferring defs over decls when searching in the symbol table. Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-12-06 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR symtab/24971 * block.c (best_symbol, better_symbol): New function. (block_lookup_symbol_primary, block_lookup_symbol): Prefer def over decl. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-12-06 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.dwarf2/varval.exp: Add decl before def test.

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.
