broken dwarf (LLVM-351)

[yamt]

the following is with esp-17.0.1_20240419 built locally. at least, DW_AT_producer, DW_AT_name, DW_AT_decl_file, DW_AT_comp_dir seem broken.

Hi @yamt

How do you compile clang? I do not see this problem with our latest release made for this tag.

Hi @yamt

How do you compile clang? I do not see this problem with our latest release made for this tag.

my configuration is:

cmake \
-G Ninja \
-S llvm -B ${BUILD_DIR} \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug  \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="lld;clang;lldb" \
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="WebAssembly;X86" \
-DLLVM_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=Xtensa \
-DLLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE="xtensa-esp32-elf" \
-DLLVM_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=OFF \
-DLLVM_INCLUDE_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DLLVM_INCLUDE_TESTS=ON \
-DLLVM_INCLUDE_TOOLS=ON \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_TERMINFO=OFF \

my colleague independently had a similar symptom (broken dwarf) with https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/tree/main/wamr-compiler. i don't know how she built it.

[yamt]

i was able to reproduce the symptom with the release assets. https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project/releases/download/esp-17.0.1_20240419/clang-esp-17.0.1_20240419-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz

clang --target=xtensa-esp-unknown-elf -c -Os -g a.c

[yamt]

well, actully it turned out to be a problem in llvm-dwarfdump. my fix: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/96311

[gerekon]

@yamt Thank you very much for the findings. We will pick it up. So let's keep this ticket open until that moment .
