--- Comment #2 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:b485fa167ef35c8facbd7c21cb86fd1abc77efcf commit r11-6868-gb485fa167ef35c8facbd7c21cb86fd1abc77efcf Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Jan 22 22:37:36 2021 +0100 dwarf2out: Always emit required 0 entries for DWARF 5 in *.debug_line [PR98796] When GCC is emitting .debug_line or .gnu.debuglto_.debug_line section by itself (happens either with too old or non-GNU assembler, with -gno-as-loc-support or with -flto) on empty translation units, it violates the DWARF 5 requirements. The standard says: "The first entry is the current directory of the compilation." and a few lines later: "The first entry in the sequence is the primary source file whose file name exactly matches that given in the DW_AT_name attribute in the compilation unit debugging information entry." GCC emits 4 zeros (directory entry format count, directories count, filename entry format count and filename count), which would be ok if the spec said The first entry may be rather than is. I had a brief look at whether I could just fall through into the rest of the function, but there are too many assumptions that there is at least one normal file that it can't be done that way easily. So this patch instead extends the early out code to emit the required minimum, which is 15 bytes more than we used to emit before. 2021-01-22 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR debug/98796 * dwarf2out.c (output_file_names): For -gdwarf-5, if there are no filenames to emit, still emit the required 0 index directory and filename entries that match DW_AT_comp_dir and DW_AT_name of the compilation unit.
