Re: Question about Dwarf2 for VLIW processor

Dear Joel:

        I am using GDB6.1.1

        GDB did not stop at the wrong location now, but I
have see that 
the function:

        find_pc_line_pc_range (stop_pc,
&step_range_start, 
&step_range_end) didn`t work correctly.

       when stop_pc is 0x8000035 the returned value of
step_range_start 
and step_range_end is

        0x800003c5 and 0x800003cb

        but they should be

        0x800003c5 and 0x800003cf


        I have found all these are because there is
something wrong with 
the Dwarf2 .debug_line section. 
        Now every instruction has a entry in this section,
maybe it should 
be every c statement.

        Cause I can not modify compiler or assembler now, So
I want to 
know How can I solve this problem
        just within GDB.

        Thanks.

It usually helps to know which version of GDB you are using,
just in
case we know the problem is already fixed in more recent
versions.

Can you tell us more about the problem that you have (ie the
actual
external symptoms)? Does GDB stop at the wrong location
after you
do a "next"?
