    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: debug
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: jan.kratochvil@redhat.com
            Target: i686-unknown-linux-gnu

Cannot access memory at address 0x0

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.3.50.20110907-cvs
(gdb) break foo
(gdb) run
(gdb) print *p[1]

static __attribute__((noinline, noclone)) int foo (int i)
{
  int j = i;
  int *p[2] = { &i, &j };
  return *p[0] + *p[1];
}
int main (void)
{
  return foo (23);
}

That p[1] content definition is missing.

There are many incompletele debug info cases around, filing it because it is a
regression (visible on GDB testcase gdb.dwarf2/implptr.exp).
