Hi,
i wrote a perl script to interpret some DWARF2 sections of an ELF
file. The ELF file was generated by a Greenhills toolchain.
When interpreting the section .debug_abbrev, all data make sense,
but the value that says if an entry has children does not only
contain either 0 or 1 but also other, much higher values.
According to the specification this looks not ok to me. As my
script interprets all other data correctly i don't think that
this is an error in my perl script.
Is a different value than 0/1 ok for DW_CHILDREN in .debug_abbrev?
Best regards,
Torsten.
