Bug ID: 17603
Summary: gdb needs a mode to not use minsyms, it hides
psymtab/symtab bugs
Product: gdb
Version: 7.8
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: symtab
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dje at google dot com
gdb needs a mode to tell it to not use minsyms, at least for certain kinds of
lookup during testing.
PR 17602 is an example where things work, but only because minsyms come to the
rescue.
This is not the first time I've seen gdb work but only because one lookup fails
(where it shouldn't have) and then another kind of lookup succeeds and from the
user's perspective (and the testsuite's!) things are OK. But they are not!
