Hi,
I recently updated my regular build setup to include an installed
libsource-highlight.so by installing package libsource-highlight-devel
in openSUSE Leap 15.1.
Subsequently I ran into this error in the gdb 8.3 branch:
...
$ ./install/bin/gdb -q a.out -ex start
Reading symbols from a.out...
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40053b: file hello.c, line 9.
Starting program: /data/gdb_versions/devel/a.out
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at hello.c:9
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'srchilite::ParserException'
what(): error during the parsing of a definition file
Aborted (core dumped)
...
This expection happens when the library attempts to access
/usr/share/source-highlight/esc.outlang, which is not there, because
it's contained in another package (source-highlight). Installing that
package fixes the error.
Nevertheless, the error did not occur on master, and I've bisect that
behaviour to this patch.
So my question is: does it make sense to backport (part of) this patch
to 8.3?
Thanks,
- Tom
