From: Caroline Tice llvm-3.9-dwarf-version This is a temporary workaround. Currently LLVM generates Dwarf version 4 for all of its debug information, including its Debug Frames (CIE) information. Breakpad cannot handle Dwarf Version 4 (see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=614788). We tried reducing all of the Dwarf information to version 3, but that causes problems with Fission (the splitting of debug information into separate files), which requires the Dwarf DIEs to be emitted at version 4. This patch works around that issue by forcing the Debug Frames version of Dwarf to be version 1, while leaving the rest of the Dwarf data at version 4. When the replacement for Breakpad comes out we will no longer need this patch, as that is supposed to be able to handle version 4 frames information. index 759f90e..d536397 100644 --- a/llvm/lib/MC/MCDwarf.cpp +++ b/llvm/lib/MC/MCDwarf.cpp @@ -1252,7 +1252,8 @@ static unsigned getCIEVersion(bool IsEH, unsigned DwarfVersion) { return 3; case 4: case 5: - return 4; + return 1; + // return 4; Temporarily disable as workaround for Breakpad issue } llvm_unreachable("Unknown version"); }
