Hi Yuanhui,
thanks for trying to debug this...
First, concerning the optimized out problems,
it would be easier if you would recompile
GDB without optimization:
make clean all CFLAGS="-gdwarf-2 -O0"
After that, you should get optimized out variables...
I will did this if I have more time.
I also installed CodeBlocks to test if I can reproduce your crash,
but I never got any ...
The codeblocks.exe was built myself, which has debug information in it.
I tried to recompile the sources, but
compilation fails on not found wxWorks headers...
Despite the fact that I compiled wxWorks 2.9.4 without problems.
Note: Codeblocks currently can build against wxWidgets 2.8.12 library. I think it was not stable to build against wxWidgets 2.9.x.
Could it be that some weird DLL's have unnamed
sections?
Could you try to insert
if (sections[i] && section[i].name)
before
if (strcmp (sections[i].section_name, section_name) == 0)
return i;
to confirm that the problem originates here?
I add a line:
static int
get_pe_section_index (const char *section_name,
struct read_pe_section_data *sections,
int nb_sections)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < nb_sections; i++)
if (section_name && (§ions[i]) && sections[i].section_name)
if (strcmp (sections[i].section_name, section_name) == 0)
return i;
return PE_SECTION_INDEX_INVALID;
}
But still the same crash in strcmp().
Could you try to check that section_name ansd sections array are valid...
It will probably require that you recompile GDB :(
Hi, today, I build gdb with "-O0 -g", here is the variables I see when it crashed.

Look, the value "0xabababab", I'm not sure why gdb report: out of bounds, where does this value come from?
