Currently, the DWARF description does not specify the signedness of the
representation of enumeration types. This is a problem in some
contexts where DWARF consumers need to determine if value X is greater
than value Y.
For instance in Ada:
type Enum_Type is ( A, B, C, D);
for Enum_Type use (-1, 0, 1, 2);
type Rec_Type (E : Enum_Type) is record
when A .. B => null;
when others => B : Booleann;
end record;
The above can be described in DWARF the following way:
DW_TAG_enumeration_type(Enum_Type)
| DW_AT_byte_size: 1
DW_TAG_enumerator(A)
| DW_AT_const_value: -1
DW_TAG_enumerator(B)
| DW_AT_const_value: 0
DW_TAG_enumerator(C)
| DW_AT_const_value: 1
DW_TAG_enumerator(D)
| DW_AT_const_value: 2
DW_TAG_structure_type(Rec_Type)
DW_TAG_member(E)
| DW_AT_type: <Enum_Type>
DW_TAG_variant_part
| DW_AT_discr: <E>
DW_TAG_variant
| DW_AT_discr_list: DW_DSC_range 0x7f 0
DW_TAG_variant
| DW_TAG_member(b)
DWARF consumers need to know that enumerators (A, B, C and D) are signed
in order to determine the set of E values for which Rec_Type has a B
field. In practice, they need to know how to interpret the 0x7f LEB128
number above (-1, not 127).
When in non-strict DWARF mode, this patch adds a DW_AT_encoding
attribute to generated DW_TAG_enumeration_type DIEs to make this
signedness explicit.
gcc/
* dwarf2out.c (gen_enumeration_type_die): When
-gno-strict-dwarf, add a DW_AT_encoding attribute.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
