Re: addr2line with stabs again

Hi Jeff,

With stabs debugging addr2line seems to walk backward in the code as far as
it has to in order to find line number information.  The net effect is that
if you ask for the line number of an address inside a function that was
linked in from a static lib that didn't have debug info you will get the
source file and line number of whatever the last debug info is before that
address.  With dwarf-2 you get '??:0'.

As a first step we only need to know if this is expected from stabs or if
this is a bug.

Oh it is a bug alright. It may well have been fixed though as Fred FIsh has
been doing some work in this area. Please could you try downloading the
latest binutils sources and trying them. If that does not fix the
problem then please could you file a bug report ?

Cheers
  Nick
