--- Comment #5 from Simon Marchi <simark at simark dot ca> ---
Ok, so you get:
warning: Section .debug_names has incorrect entry in CU table, ignoring
.debug_names.
when the test expects:
During symbol reading: .debug_names entry has bad CU index 1 [in module
.../gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-bad-cu-index/debug-names-bad-cu-index, index entry
for name _start, entry pool offset 0x0]
The "incorrect entry" happens when we scan the CU list, and we find a mismatch
between the CU list in the index and the CUs actually in ".debug_info". When
you get a FAIL, can you dump the index and the debug info, so we can see what
is the mismatch? Perhaps that will help understand what happens.
In the working case, I get:
$ readelf --debug-dump=gdb_index
