Re: GDB not able to debug files(dwarf2.0) loaded using add-symbol-file

["Sandeep Joshi" <sandeepjoshi dot it at gmail dot com>]

Below is what 'find_pc_sect_psymtab' returned when i tried to set
breakpoint in the file added with 'add-symbol-file' command.

******************************************
Breakpoint 5, find_pc_sect_psymtab (pc=34148, section=0x9cd4324) at symtab.c:796
796             return (best_pst);

(gdb) p *best_pst
$2 = {next = 0x9ad046c, filename = 0x9ad0518
"net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_krb5_mech.c", fullname = 0x0,
 dirname = 0x99f1e78
"/home/joshis/sdk/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.6.11.12", objfile =
0x994b650,
 section_offsets = 0x9951800, textlow = 288, texthigh = 1076066628,
dependencies = 0x0, number_of_dependencies = 0,
 globals_offset = 4596, n_global_syms = 0, statics_offset = 149919,
n_static_syms = 259, symtab = 0x9ccdc50,
 read_symtab = 0x80fbf84 <dwarf2_psymtab_to_symtab>,
read_symtab_private = 0x9a01b44 "óvø", readin = 1 '\001'}

******************************************
Here the pc to be looked is is '34148' . It starts with first object
file i.e vmlinux and checks all the psymtabs for their code range. Now
for the above psymtab, Code range is 'textlow = 288, texthigh =
1076066628' and our PC lies in this. So this is set as best_pst and
function returns without checking the second objfile, which has the
perfect match for this PC. That is why gdb is not able to show the
sources correct.
