Types table size and format in the .gcc_exception_table

[alam_shahid]

As part of my research I am updating the .gcc_exception_table of a binary 64 
bit elf file. For small C++ programs that throw exceptions it works OK, but for 
large benchmark programs it's not working. My question is does GCC stores more 
than one table inside the .gcc_exception_table section of the elf file. If it 
does what's the exact format of these tables. I have some knowledge of the 
action table, action records and types table. I am not clear about the size of 
the types table.

I am parsing the tables in this section but is not able to know the exact size 
and format of the types tables, where a pointer to the exception information is 
stored. I need to update this pointer to the new updated location.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: warnings with cvs texinfo version

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

Here is an additional patch that takes care of a new warning:
./gdb.texinfo:31: warning: @syncodeindex leads to a merging of fn in itself, 
ignoring

It simply comments out the line 
  @syncodeindex fn fn
which is a bit weird.

These warnings are still there, but now to do what you wanted to do 
with that construct, that is an indented environment without 
anything else special, we added @indentedblock (and @smallindentedblock), 
so I think that you could use that instead of an empty table.

This warning is also still present.  Here you can use, for example 
@w{} but it will still be a rather dubious construct. 

The other warnings have been removed.
