- Subject: Two possible function stabs patches
OK, so I have not one, but two patches!
The first one is less interesting. It uses the language's name for the
function, unless it's a C++ function, in which case it uses the
(mangled) assembler name. It'll give a stab like
.stabs "__ZN3bar3fooEv:F(0,1)",36,0,2,__ZN3bar3fooEv
or
.stabs "foo:F(0,1)",36,0,2,foo.11
The second one uses the 'printable name' for the function. That is,
for C it's just the name, and for C++ it's the demangled version of its
name. I am not at all sure it'll work, because it gives stabs like:
.stabs "int bar::foo():F(0,1)",36,0,2,__ZN3bar3fooEv
which I suspect can't be parsed.
Could someone help me test these? It needs a machine that can use
stabs and on which the GDB testsuite doesn't give too many false
positives.
