Hi Guys, I am applying the rather large patch attached to this email to enhance the readelf and objdump programs so that they now have the ability to follow links to separate debug info files. (As requested by PR 15152). So for example whereas before we had this output: $ readelf -wi main.exe Contents of the .debug_info section: [...] <15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c) [...] With the new option enabled we get: $ readelf -wiK main.exe main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe): [...] <15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c) /home/nickc/Downloads/dwzm [...] The link following feature also means that we can get two lots of output if the same section exists in both the main file and the separate debug info file: $ readelf -wiK main.exe main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe): [...] Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from dwz.debug): [...] The patch also adds the ability to display the contents of debuglink sections: $ readelf -wk main.exe Contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section: Separate debug info file: dwz.debug Build-ID (0x14 bytes): c4 a8 89 8d 64 cf 70 8a 35 68 21 f2 ed 24 45 3e 18 7a 7a 93 Naturally there are long versions of these options (=follow-links and =links). The documentation has been updated as well, and since both readelf and objdump use the same set of debug display options, I have moved the text into a separate file. There are also a couple of new binutils tests to exercise the new behaviour. There are a couple of missing features in the current patch however, although I do intend to address them in follow up submissions: Firstly the code does not check the build-id inside separate debug info files when it is searching for a file specified by a .gnu_debugaltlink section. It just assumes that if the file is there, then it contains the information being sought. Secondly I have not checked the DWARF-5 version of these link features, so there will probably be code to add there. Thirdly I have only implemented link following for the DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt format. Other alternate formats (eg DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt) have yet to be implemented. Lastly, whilst implementing this feature I found it necessary to move some of the global variables used by readelf (eg section_headers) into a structure that can be passed around. I have moved all of the global variables that were necessary to get the patch working, but I need to complete the operation and move the remaining, file-specific variables (eg dynamic_strings).
