- Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Look for separate debug files in debug directories under a sysroot.
- References: <cover.1548205042.git.jhb@FreeBSD.org>
When an object file is present in a system root, GDB currently looks
for separate debug files under the global debugfile directories. For
example, if the sysroot is set to "/myroot" and hte global debugfile
directory is set to "/usr/lib/debug", GDB will look for a separate
debug file for "/myroot/lib/libc.so.7" in the following paths:
/myroot/lib/libc.so.7.debug
/myroot/lib/.debug/libc.so.7.debug
/usr/lib/debug//myroot/lib/libc.so.7.debug
/usr/lib/debug/lib/libc.so.7.debug
However, some system roots include a full system installation
including a nested global debugfile directory under the sysroot. This
patch adds an additional check to support such systems. In the
example above the additional path searched is:
/myroot/usr/lib/debug/lib/libc.so.7.debug
To try to preserve existing behavior as much as possible, this new
path is searched last for each global debugfile directory.
