I am not sure that this patch is quite right. There are two possible
problems with it:
1) It does not apply the same adjustment to arm_elf_find_function in
elf32-arm.c.
2) I think that the transition from state==nothing_seen to
state==symbol_seen might be in the wrong place. What happens if the
symbols encountered are in this order:
STT_LOPROC
STT_FILENAME
STT_FUNC
The first symbol will change the state to symbol_seen, but will not set
'func'. The second symbol will change the state to
file_after_symbol_seen so that when the third symbol is encountered
'filename' will be set to NULL and no filename will be reported.
I think that the change from state nothing_seen to state symbol_seen
ought to be inside the switch() statement, at the end of STT_FUNC. What
do you think ?
Cheers
Nick
