I have a (hopefully) quick question about the behaviour of stabs as compared
to dwarf-2. I have a small sample app that I build with stabs debugging and
link against a static lib that was built with no debugging. If I use
addr2line to get the line number for anything from inside the static lib
with stabs debugging I will get the line number of whatever the previous
stabs entry is, no matter how far back it has to go. With dwarf-2 I get
"??:0". Is this the way stabs is expected to work?
I've attached a testcase that shows what I'm talking about. Modify the
Makefile to fit your host system, make it and then ask for a line number
from inside func1. You should get appprofiler_looper.c:126.
