Description Tom Tromey 2012-04-26 18:45:40 UTC 
I'm using dwz, a DWARF compressor.
It compresses DWARF by noticing commonalities between CUs and moving
them into new partial units (DW_TAG_partial_unit) which are then imported
using DW_TAG_imported_module.

For info on dwz, see this thread:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-04/msg00686.html


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2012-04-26 19:41:53 UTC 
Sorry, I forgot the real part of the bug.

valgrind does not understand DW_TAG_partial_unit or
DW_TAG_imported_module.  So, I think you can see failures if you
use --read-var-info=yes.

Does bug 302901 make this obsolete?

Yes, I think so.
Comment 4 Julian Seward 2012-07-14 10:19:11 UTC 
Closing as dup (kind-of) of bug 302901.  Tom, if you think this is wrong, 
pls free free to reopen.
