[PATCH] debugedit: Skip relocations with missing symbol/section offset.

Thu Jul 1 10:05:19 GMT 2021


We tried to handle relocations that didn't have a symbol associated
with any section.  The would cause a message like: "Unhandled
relocation 1 in .debug_info section".  Which wasn't that helpful
either. So skip relocations without an associated symbol section index
and improve the error message a little.

    * debugedit.c (setup_relbuf): Continue when sym.st_shndx == 0.
    Add relocation index to error message.
