--- Comment #4 from Cary Coutant <ccoutant at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The problem is a lexical block in main() that appears to be getting split by -freorder-blocks-and-partition, but when debug info is emitted during rest_of_handle_final(), this particular lexical block still appears to be a single block -- BLOCK_FRAGMENT_CHAIN is NULL, so the DWARF output code decides that it can emit a DW_AT_low_pc/high_pc pair instead of a DW_AT_ranges. The DW_AT_high_pc is now being output relative to DW_AT_low_pc, so we see an assembly expression .LBE14 - .LBB14, which are labels attached to the block start and block end, and should be in the same section. Here's the block: (gdb) p stmt $1 = (tree) 0x7ffff5f4c4b0 (gdb) pt warning: Expression is not an assignment (and might have no effect) <block 0x7ffff5f4c4b0 asm_written used vars <var_decl 0x7ffff608bc78 e type <reference_type 0x7ffff609b930 type <record_type 0x7ffff608e9d8 MyException> sizes-gimplified unsigned DI size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f24dc0 constant 64> unit size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f24de0 constant 8> align 64 symtab 0 alias set -1 canonical type 0x7ffff609b930> readonly tree_1 tree_3 unsigned decl_5 DI file pr49115.C line 21 col 25 size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f24dc0 64> unit size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f24de0 8> align 64 context <function_decl 0x7ffff6096f00 main>> supercontext <block 0x7ffff60c00f0 asm_written used vars <var_decl 0x7ffff608bb48 data type <record_type 0x7ffff608ec78 Data> used tree_1 tree_3 decl_5 SI file pr49115.C line 18 col 8 size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f42140 constant 32> unit size <integer_cst 0x7ffff5f42160 constant 4> align 128 context <function_decl 0x7ffff6096f00 main> (reg/v:SI 64 [ data ])> supercontext <block 0x7ffff5f4c550 asm_written used supercontext <function_decl 0x7ffff6096f00 main> subblocks <block 0x7ffff5f4c500 asm_written used vars <var_decl 0x7ffff608bb48 data> supercontext <block 0x7ffff5f4c550> subblocks <block 0x7ffff5f4c4b0> chain <block 0x7ffff60c00f0>>>>> (gdb) p stmt->block $2 = {base = {code = BLOCK, side_effects_flag = 0, constant_flag = 0, addressable_flag = 0, volatile_flag = 0, readonly_flag = 0, asm_written_flag = 1, nowarning_flag = 0, visited = 0, used_flag = 1, nothrow_flag = 0, static_flag = 0, public_flag = 0, private_flag = 0, protected_flag = 0, deprecated_flag = 0, default_def_flag = 0, u = {bits = {lang_flag_0 = 0, lang_flag_1 = 0, lang_flag_2 = 0, lang_flag_3 = 0, lang_flag_4 = 0, lang_flag_5 = 0, lang_flag_6 = 0, saturating_flag = 0, unsigned_flag = 0, packed_flag = 0, user_align = 0, nameless_flag = 1, spare0 = 0, spare1 = 0, address_space = 0}, length = 2048, version = 2048}}, chain = 0x0, abstract_flag = 0, block_num = 14, locus = 0, vars = 0x7ffff608bc78, nonlocalized_vars = 0x0, subblocks = 0x0, supercontext = 0x7ffff60c00f0, abstract_origin = 0x0, fragment_origin = 0x0, fragment_chain = 0x0} Here's the fragment of assembly code between .LBB14 and .LBE14: .LBB14: # pr49115.C:21 .loc 1 21 0 call __cxa_begin_catch .LVL7: call __cxa_end_catch .LVL8: .p2align 4,,5 # SUCC: 3 [100.0%] count:1 jmp .L15 .cfi_endproc .section .text.unlikely .cfi_startproc .cfi_personality 0x3,__gxx_personality_v0 .cfi_lsda 0x3,.LLSDAC4 # BLOCK 6 freq:5000 seq:4 # PRED: 4 [50.0%] (CROSSING,CAN_FALLTHRU) .L14: .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .p2align 4,,8 .LEHB1: # SUCC: call _Unwind_Resume .LEHE1: .LVL9: .LBE14: .LBE15: .cfi_endproc You can see that the block from .LBB14 to .LBE14 has been split across two sections. In order for dwarf2out to generate the proper debug info, BLOCK_FRAGMENT_CHAIN(stmt) needs to be non-NULL. I'm not sure why that's not happening when the block is split.
