Hi folks- I have one of those bugs from hell that comes and goes without any discernable pattern to its cause, so I'm looking for assistance as to where I should start for troubleshooting.
I am writing an alternative Arduino port for the MSP430 architecture using msp430-elf-gcc, currently using the 4.9.1 release from TI - built from source on a Fedora 19 64-bit laptop. Source obtained via http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource I have a few C++ classes in the "core" folder which collect and manage CPU speed-related matters, and I've found that on occasion doing seemingly innocuous operations on these classes causes the following error on link: /opt/local/msp430-elf-gcc/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.1/../../../../msp430-elf/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.24.51.20140505 internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/elf-eh-frame.c line 1726 in _bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame /opt/local/msp430-elf-gcc/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.1/../../../../msp430-elf/bin/ld: Please report this bug. collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Looking at the binutils source, this is failing at: /* We don't align the section to its section alignment since the runtime library only expects all CIE/FDE records aligned at the pointer size. _bfd_elf_discard_section_eh_frame should have padded CIE/FDE records to multiple of pointer size with size_of_output_cie_fde. */ if ((sec->size % ptr_size) != 0) abort (); So a section is getting generated with improperly alignment I'm guessing? Is there any tool I could use to ascertain this - I know the compiler is building all the .o files, and it's just bombing on linking, so can msp430-elf-objdump be used to somehow spot the "odd-sized section"? I would provide more detail but the source is a bit large and the bug rather ... random (yet repeatable), so I'm mostly looking for expert advice on how I can dig deeper and hopefully spot the bug myself.
