> Do you think it'd be better to simply evaluate both sections for a
potential match if they're present?
Unless there's a good reason to do that -- like both sections containing
different parts of the information -- I wouldn't do that. I wonder anyway
why the .debug_frame is no longer correctly written. After all it is
documented to contain the information. Have you read anything about this
(e.g. in the changelog, some announcement, or discussion)? Or might this
just be a bug?
> Also, I notice that currently we always do a brute force scan through
all the data to try and find a match when reconstructing a call frame.
Would it be worth filing an enhancement to perform a startup scan of the
call frame information in order to build a search tree by address range so
we can quickly locate the exact section we want? For larger libraries it
often takes a noticeable amount of time to find the right CFI via the
current methodology.
Or do that lazily/cache information. The startup already takes quite some
time and doing more preprocessing will make that even worse. Although
that's probably quite a bit of work, it might be necessary to preload even
less information (load the CIEs on demand with caching). I may recall that
incorrectly, but didn't debugging WebPositive (with full debug info for
WebKit) even hit the address space limit?
