* dwarf2out.c (add_fde_cfi): Use a set_loc if the current label is
NULL, otherwise use an advance_loc4 to adjust relative to the
current label.
(output_cfi) <DW_CFA_set_loc>: Update the current label.
(dwarf2out_switch_text_section): Reset the current label to avoid
using advance_loc4 over section boundaries.
This breaks exception handling on mipsel-linux-gnu. I did a regression
hunt and r116604 (this patch) fails, where as r116603 works.
The problem is that with this patch applied the first instruction in a
FDE is typically DW_CFA_set_loc, before the patch it was DW_CFA_advance_loc.
Grr! Thanks for tracking down the change that broke EH on MIPS!
I think I can provide a temporary work-around for this problem (to
resolve the immediate regression) by initializing the current label
to the start of the function. This'll mean that we'll resume using
advance_loc as the first instruction in the FDE. However, profiled
bootstrap and/or hot/cold partitioning will still continue to introduce
DW_CFA_set_loc, which presumably can't be handled by current binutils.
Not ideal, but it will restore libgcj whilst the necessary bintuils
functionality is added.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
