[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D54751: [LLDB] - Fix setting the breakpoints when -gsplit-dwarf and DWARF 5 were used for building the executable.

[Jan Kratochvil via Phabricator via lldb-commits]

jankratochvil added inline comments.


================
Comment at: source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFUnit.cpp:351
+  if (!addr_base)
+    addr_base =
+       cu_die.GetAttributeValueAsUnsigned(m_dwarf, this, DW_AT_GNU_addr_base, 0);
----------------
Here I would find good also a comment:
``` // pre-DWARF v5 attributes DW_AT_GNU_* applied only to the DWO unit while DWARF v5 attributes DW_AT_* apply also to the main unit
```
Based on a [[ https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission | DebugFission ]] comment:
```Note the following difference between the current GCC implementation and the DWARF v5 specification: In the current GCC implementation (based on DWARF v4), if DW_AT_ranges is present, the offset into the ranges table is not relative to the value given by DW_AT_ranges_base (i.e., DW_AT_ranges_base is used only for references to the range table from the dwo sections). In DWARF v5, the DW_AT_ranges_base attribute is used for all references to the range table -- both from dwo sections and from skeleton compile units.
```

I was also thinking to fetch the attributes just once by some `(m_version >= 5 ? DW_AT_addr_base : DW_AT_GNU_addr_base)` but clang-7.0 does produce DWARF-5 still using `DW_AT_GNU_addr_base`.
