Hi Guys, I am applying the attached patch to make a few small improvements to the information displayed about the .debug_info section by tools like readelf. The first improvement is to show the abbreviation and tag referred to by a DW_AT_import attribute. The second change is to be more consistent about prefixing hex numbers with 0x when it is not obvious that they are being displayed as such. Finally I have made a few improvements to some of the warning messages that are displayed when corrupt information is detected. Checked by rebuilding all of the regular toolchains and running regression tests. Cheers Nick binutils/ChangeLog 2008-01-03 Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com> * dwarf.c (read_and_display_attr_value): Prefix values that are displayed in hexadecimal with 0x. For the DW_AT_import attribute display the abbreviation number and tag of the imported DIE. (process_debug_info): Warn about lengths that reserved by the DWARF3 specification. Provide more information when corrupted DIEs are detected. Warn if DIE corruption makes the sibling level negative.
