Testcase:
------------------------------------------------
extern int missing;
int
main (void)
{
return 0 && missing;
}
------------------------------------------------
gcc -o kfail kfail.c -Wall -g
gcc-4.3.2-7.x86_64 (Fedora 10)
produces:
<1><55>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_variable)
<56> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x66): missing
<5c> DW_AT_type : <0x4e>
<60> DW_AT_external : 1
<61> DW_AT_declaration : 1
and GDB prints:
GNU gdb (GDB) 6.8.50.20090324-cvs
(gdb) p missing
Address of symbol "missing" is unknown.
It should print:
(gdb) p missing
$1 = <value optimized out>
Filing only to get a number for KFAIL, it was discussed at:
