[llvm-dev] Debug symbols are missing in elf
Hi James,
Thanks for reply.
When I looked in to the generated debug dump from the object file I
found that DW_AT_name is always (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang
version 8.0.1, instead of variable names.
Below is a sample output of the debug dump.
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x0:
Length: 0x6a (32-bit)
Version: 4
Abbrev Offset: 0x0
Pointer Size: 4
<0><b>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
<c> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang
version 8.0.1
<10> DW_AT_language : 12 (ANSI C99)
<12> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang
version 8.0.1
<16> DW_AT_stmt_list : 0x0
<1a> DW_AT_comp_dir : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang
version 8.0.1
<1e> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x0
<22> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x6c
<1><26>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<27> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x0
<2b> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x6c
<2f> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 51 (DW_OP_reg1 (r1))
<31> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang
version 8.0.1
<35> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<36> DW_AT_decl_line : 51
<37> DW_AT_type : <0x66>
<3b> DW_AT_external : 1

What warning(s) do you see? That'll hopefully give a little more context as
to what is going wrong.

Either your backend is not emitting them correctly, or the dumper does not know what to do with them. If you are able to dump the .rela.debug_info section and it looks reasonable, the fault is most likely with the dumper. If you are using llvm-dwarfdump then that should not be hard to solve. --paulr> > Below is a sample output of the debug dump. > > Compilation Unit @ offset 0x0: > Length: 0x6a (32-bit) > Version: 4 > Abbrev Offset: 0x0 > Pointer Size: 4 > <0><b>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit) > <c> DW_AT_producer : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang > version 8.0.1 > <10> DW_AT_language : 12 (ANSI C99) > <12> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang > version 8.0.1 > <16> DW_AT_stmt_list : 0x0 > <1a> DW_AT_comp_dir : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang > version 8.0.1 > <1e> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x0 > <22> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x6c > <1><26>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_subprogram) > <27> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x0 > <2b> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x6c > <2f> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 51 (DW_OP_reg1 (r1)) > <31> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x0): clang > version 8.0.1 > <35> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 > <36> DW_AT_decl_line : 51 > <37> DW_AT_type : <0x66> > <3b> DW_AT_external : 1 > > -Nagaraju

Can you please help me in finding which part of the target(Backend files) will construct the dwarf data, especially debug_info.
