Re: dwarf_getscope() fails on x86_64 arch


Your test program works correctly for me.

$ ./getscopes -e ~/redhat/tmp/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/vmlinux 0xffffffff800aa956

 nscopes: 0 dwarf_getscopes error:no error
$

When I debug it to see what's going on, the dwarf_getscopes call returned 2
as expected (not printed here).  The line printed actually refers to the
dwarf_getscopes_die call, despite the confusing message text.  That call
returned 0 as expected, since you called it on the CU itself, and by
definition there are no containing scopes of a CU.

I tried it with elfutils-0.141-1.fc10.x86_64 on Fedora 10.  If 0.139 or
0.140 works differently that's a surprise off hand--I don't recall any
relevant fixes, but there might have been some.


Thanks,
Roland
