Patch to handle DWARF2 DW_FORM_indirect
- To: gdb-patches at sources dot redhat dot com, binutils at sources dot redhat dot com
- Subject: Patch to handle DWARF2 DW_FORM_indirect
- From: "Keith.Walker" <Keith dot Walker at arm dot com>
- Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 17:49:03 +0000
The DWARF2 specification allows the form of attributes to be described
"inline" with DW_FORM_indirect rather than the form being specified in a
separate abbreviation table. The following patch adds support for
DW_FORM_indirect in BFD, binutils and GDB.
If there are no objections, can this patch be approved and applied by the
GDB and binutils maintainers.
