which elf symbol?

[Andrew Cagney <cagney at redhat dot com>]

Hi,

I've replaced the frysk-stackframe program with an expanded 
frysk-symbols program that has more elf symbol lookup edge cases; for 
instance nested symbols.  I've also expanded frysk.rt.TestSymbol to 
exercise them.  For some of the cases though, the results are not what I 
expected.   I've noted the failures below and provided a simplified 
assembler.

1) 
testGlobalAfterNested(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol global_outer expected:<global_outer> but was:<local_st_size_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testGlobalAfterNested(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)
2) 
testLocalAfterNested(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol local_outer expected:<...outer> but was:<...st_size_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testLocalAfterNested(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)

These two are effectively the same.  The layout is:

   local_st_size_0: // this symbol has no size

   global_outer:
       nop
       local_in_global:
         nop
         .size local_in_global, .-local_in_global
      nop
      <<you-are-here>>
      .size global_outer, .-global_outer

that is global_outer contains a nested symbol but the "pc" is beyond 
that back in the outer/global symbol.

I'm guessing that "global_outer" should be returned.  Currently 
local_st_size_0 is returned :-(


3) 
testNoSymbolAfterGlobal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol [unknown] expected:<[unknown]> but was:<local_st_size_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testNoSymbolAfterGlobal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)
4) 
testNoSymbolAfterLocal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol [unknown] expected:<[unknown]> but was:<local_st_size_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testNoSymbolAfterLocal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)

This is the no-symbol case, there is a hole in the memory where there is 
no valid symbol vis:

   local_st_size_0: // this symbol has no size

   global_symbol:
      nop
      nop
      .size global_symbol, .-global_symbol

   << you are here >>

I'm guessing it should not get a symbol at all (the [unknown]).  It 
currently gets the nearest unsized symbol.

5) 
testGlobalSize0InGlobal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol global_0_in_global expected:<...0_in_global> but was:<...after_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testGlobalSize0InGlobal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)
6) 
testLocalSize0InGlobal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol local_0_in_global expected:<local_0_in_global> but 
was:<global_after_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testLocalSize0InGlobal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)
7) 
testGlobalSize0InLocal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol global_0_in_local expected:<global_0_in_local> but 
was:<local_after_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testGlobalSize0InLocal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)
8) 
testLocalSize0InLocal(frysk.rt.TestSymbol)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: 
symbol local_0_in_local expected:<...0_in_local> but was:<...after_0>
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.symbolTest(TestRunner)
  at frysk.rt.TestSymbol.testLocalSize0InLocal(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runArchCases(TestRunner)
  at frysk.junit.Runner.runTestCases(TestRunner)
  at TestRunner.main(TestRunner)

These are cases where there is a nested symbol within a sized symbol vis:

   global_after_0:
      nop
      local_0_in_global:
         << you are here >>
      nop
      .size global_after_0, .-global_after_0

here, since the PC is exactly at the unsized local symbol I'm guessing 
that it should return that.  It currently gets the containing sized symbol.
