Bug ID: 89514
Summary: -g -fdebug-types-section -flto gives 'Dwarf Error: bad
length' in gdb
Product: gcc
Version: 8.3.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: lto
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gcc at mailinator dot com
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, World!";
return 0;
}
g++ hello_world.cc -g -fdebug-types-section -flto -o hello_world
gdb hello_world
Then GDB 7.11.1, 8.1, 8.2 reports:
Dwarf Error: bad length (0xe7) in compilation unit header (offset 0x1e3a + 0)
For larger binaries GDB reports a corrupted dwarf version:
Dwarf Error: wrong version in compilation unit header (is 3745, should be 2, 3,
or 4)
Reproduced on GCC 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 with Binutils 2.30 and Binutils 2.32.
At first I suspected Binutils, then GDB, but I think this is a GCC issue, since
-fdebug-types-section works with -fwhole-program, but not -flto.
