Description Ervin Peters 2020-05-23 06:05:06 UTC
Trying to get google earth up and running, I startet it via gdb and got:

(gdb) file googleearth-bin 
Reading symbols from googleearth-bin...
(No debugging symbols found in googleearth-bin)
(gdb) run
Starting program: /opt/googleearth/googleearth-bin 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
[Detaching after fork from child process 56877]
[New Thread 0x7fffe87a3700 (LWP 56878)]
[New Thread 0x7fffe781c700 (LWP 56879)]
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gdb-9.1/work/gdb-9.1/gdb/symfile.c:886: internal-error: sect_index_text not initialized



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start gdb
2. run something big without a .text section and >2 Sepments (see upstream bug) or googleearth-bin
3. 
Actual Results:  
crash

Expected Results:  
be able to debug

Upstream I found related to this issue:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25678

which leads to an explanation and offers something to patch.

Comment 2 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2020-05-23 11:38:58 UTC
Thank you for the report. We need to have all information at hand before ticket assignment. Sometimes we see precursors in the compiler warnings. That is why I ask you to 
* attach the logs 
as described on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket

Please attach a small example file which leads to a crash.
Please reopen this ticket (Status:UNCONFIRMED) afterwards.

Rebuild build.log attached.

btw: The crash doesn't disappear if I reduce from -o3 to -o2

Try 0001-PR-symtab-25678-Set-entry-point-when-text-segment-is.patch. You can drop it to /etc/portage/patches/sys-devel/gdb/ and rebuild gdb to see if it helps.

This patch seems to fix that error.

Since this is a user patch, I leave the bug open.
Comment 6 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-06-04 18:33:01 UTC
I would prefer pulling this patch after upstream does.
