Subject: [patch] Fix regression by me for gcc-4.0...gcc-4.4 i386 -O2 -g parameters (PR 13777)
Hi,
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13777
for CentOS-5 i386 ls:
$ gdb ls
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=Cannot access memory at address 0x81b7c7cd
instead of GDB before my PR 12573 fix/change:
Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, ...
I asked before on #gcc since which versions GCC produced DW_AT_location which
is for any PC either optimized-out or it has valid value. I was told since
gcc-4.0. But that is not true.
I have bisected gcc and I found 4.4.0 was still broken, 4.5.0 was correct,
thanks to:

unwind info for epilogues
Curiously 4.4.x branch got later also fixed in this case by:

(but that missed 4.4.0)
As 4.5.0 was first FSF GCC with VTA I was trusting more the validity only
after VTA and these heuristic results seems to confirm that.
I find the change below definitely safe.
Someone may object the original PR 12573 (do not try to skip prologue for -O2
-g code as it may cause more confusion than anything else) as while it fixed
some GDB crashes there is no such purpose anymore with Tom's
ambiguous-linespec patch. Still I believe PR 12573 was right to do.
No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora17-linux-gnu.
I will check it in.
Thanks,
Jan
