Thanks for looking into this.

If we revert the change for DW_OP_implicit_value, it doesn't matter anymore, but the same bug occurs with DW_OP_stack_value as well. I'll handle that separately. > I really do not mind reverting the patch if you think so, that is up to the > maintainers. Note that I don't intend to revert the whole patch, only the part affecting DW_OP_implicit_value (DWARF_VALUE_LITERAL). > But when you ask me I miss here stating what the current GCC version does > produce.

Does the GDB > testsuite (particulerly the entryval testcases) have no regressions on s390*? Right, the test suite has no regressions on s390*. And GCC can indeed emit DWARF code that breaks with current GDB on s390x; and the proposed patch would fix that.

Your patch certainly fixed a real problem with DW_OP_stack_value, but I doubt that the changes to the handling of DW_OP_implicit_value did. In the patch description you stated: "I am not completely sure with the DWARF standard understanding for DW_OP_implicit_value (DWARF_VALUE_LITERAL) but I think it also should be fixed (if such DWARF is valid at all)." And Tom Tromey answered: "I think I asked about this when implementing this DWARF addition in gdb, but I can't find the messages right now." Is there any any other information about the rationale of that change? -- Andreas
