GDB throws the error '<error reading variable: dwarf2_find_location_
expression: Corrupted DWARF expression.>' while printing the variable
value with executable file compiled with -gdwarf-5 and -gdwarf-split
flags. This is because DW_LLE_start* or DW_LLE_offset_pair with
DW_LLE_base_addressx are being emitted in DWARFv5 location list instead of
DW_LLE_GNU*. This patch fixes this error.
Tested by running the testsuite before and after the patch and there is no
increase in the number of test cases that fails. Tested with both -gdwarf-4
and -gdwarf-5 flags. Also tested -gslit-dwarf along with -gdwarf-4 as well as
-gdwarf-5 flags. Used clang version 10.0.0. This is the test case used-
void bar(int arr[], int l, int m, int r) {
int i, j, k, n1= m - l + 1, n2= r - m, L[n1], R[n2];
for (i = 0; i < n1; i++)
L[i] = arr[l + i];
for (j = 0; j < n2; j++)
R[j] = arr[m + 1+ j];
}
int main()
{
int arr[] = {12, 11};
bar(arr,0,1,2);
return 0;
}

dwarf2_find_location_expression: Corrupted DWARF expression.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-04-07 Nitika Achra <Nitika.Achra@amd.com>
* dwarf2/loc.c (enum debug_loc_kind): Add a new kind DEBUG_LOC_OFFSET_PAIR.
(dwarf2_find_location_expression): Call the function decode_debug_loclists_
addresses if DWARF version is 5 or more. DW_LLE_start* or DW_LLE_offset_pair
with DW_LLE_base_addressx are being emitted in DWARFv5 instead of DW_LLE_GNU*.
Add applicable base address if the entry is DW_LLE_offset_pair from DWO.
(decode_debug_loclists_addresses): Return DEBUG_LOC_OFFSET_PAIR instead of
DEBUG_LOC_START_END in case of DW_LLE_offset_pair.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
