Compiling with clang gives this warning/error:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/compile/compile-loc2c.c:731:6: error: variable 'uoffset' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
uoffset += dwarf2_per_cu_text_offset (per_cu);
^~~~~~~
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/compile/compile-loc2c.c:669:23: note: initialize the variable 'uoffset' to silence this warning
uint64_t uoffset, reg;
^
= 0
I am really not sure if what this patch does is good, but it is my best
guess. DW_OP_addr means that there's an constant address provided by
the DWARF bytecode that should be pushed on the stack. That address is
considered skipped by the "op_ptr += addr_size", but it is never read.
uoffset is indeed read just after, without having been assigned first.
So I think the intent is to read the address, it was just omitted.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* compile/compile-loc2c.c (do_compile_dwarf_expr_to_c): Read
address when op is DW_OP_addr.
