test-case

I've just built elftuils with GCC 8.1.0 and I see:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libdw/ ./src/readelf -a -w ./backends/libebl_x86_64.so
[snip]
DWARF section [32] '.debug_loc' at offset 0x2fbd9:

 CU [    2d] base: +0x0000000000001e60 <x86_64_reloc_type_name>
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Valgrind tells:

Comment 1 Mark Wielaard 2018-05-30 09:29:26 UTC
Thanks, for some reason we used the wrong listptr for locview attributes.
This fixes it:

While looking at this I also noticed that for this test file eu-readelf --debug-dump=ranges claims to find some unused garbage in .debug_ranges, which might indicate that we are either missing some attributes in the associated CU, or GCC really puts garbage in the .debug_ranges section (which would surprise me).

That is odd. It seems eu-readelf really is correct, there is unused garbage in the .debug_ranges sections, but not generated by GCC, but by GNU AS:

DWARF section [28] '.debug_info' at offset 0xe3c0:

All the other CU/ranges look fine. I assume that GNU AS is padding the section for some reason. Anyway, this doesn't look like an eu-readelf bug.

I can confirm it works for me! Thanks.

commit 84acd2365d4775b93aed5e5970b34db05ea5d547
Author: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>
Date:   Wed May 30 11:54:31 2018 +0200

    readelf: Use correct listptr when looking up next loc for locview attr.
    
    We were using loclistsptr instead of locsptr in print_debug_loc_section.
