[LLVMdev] DebugInfo library and relocations in the .debug_line section

[Kaylor, Andrew]

Alright.  I'll probably take a shot at it once I have the more general stuff for my event handler working and ready for review.

Well, I saw the .debug_info.dwo stuff (though I didn't realize it was so recent), but it wasn't clear to me how adding a map for a section with a different purpose would work -- that is, whether it should be yet another member variable in DWARFContextInMemory or if there was some better way to combine them.


*shrug* I've been adding them as needed. I knew I needed the debug_line table, but I've been mostly adding that stuff as I need it to fix something else. Right now I think we're only going to ultimately need a couple of them so just adding them as fields sounds fine.

It also wasn't clear to me what the relocation map was doing anyway and what would need to be changed for the .debug_line section, but I suppose that was mostly laziness on my part, hoping that you had a plan that you could just spell out for me.


Oh sorry :)

Having overcome my laziness a bit today and looked at the code some more, it looks like I'd need to pass the new map (however it was stored) into DWARFDebugLine and have that class use it in its parseStatementTable and associated methods.  It looks like it would take a bit of thought to figure out which fields might be candidates for relocation and which wouldn't, but I suppose that's manageable.

Does this sound basically correct?  Or should I just wait for you to do the work?

That's pretty much correct, I don't really need to dump the line tables at the moment, but it shouldn't be too long if you're not in any hurry.
