Bug #: 13307
Summary: Support DW_AT_location complex DWARF expressions
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: symtab
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jan.kratochvil@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
See:
[patch#2] fetch result of locdesc expressions as integer (not address)
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-10/msg00225.html
where the complex DWARF expressions in DW_AT_location has been reverted as no
longer used by GCC. But it was a nice code cleanup.
But the patch needs dynamic types - with attributes evaluated as DWARF
expressions - as contained in archer-jankratochvil-vla. Postponed till that
time.
There is no known real world case where this feature is needed. The patch
still was a GDB code cleanup.
