#8135: Support debug info in separate file -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: bonefish | Owner: anevilyak Type: enhancement | Status: in-progress Priority: low | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Debugger | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 1 | Platform: All -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): Replying to [comment:12 bonefish]: > Yeah, might be a binutils bug or a Haiku bug. To narrow it down you could try FreeBSD's or Linux's `objcopy`. If that works, Haiku's `objcopy` for cross-compilation on FreeBSD/Linux could be tried. On FreeBSD the result is consistent with Haiku as far as .eh_frame goes, and that one's using binutils 2.15, so this certainly doesn't seem to be new behavior. OTOH, .debug_frame gets copied correctly (FreeBSD still uses gcc 4.1.2 which generates both sections). I guess in that case I'll always try to grab .eh_frame from the primary binary and retrieve everything else from the separate debug info file, since if present we'll prefer .debug_frame anyways. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8135#comment:15> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
