PR 27614 shows that gdb-add-index fails to generate the index when its
argument is a symlink.
The following one liner illustrates the reported problem:
$ echo 'int main(){}'|gcc -g -x c -;ln -s a.out symlink;gdb-add-index symlink
gdb-add-index: No index was created for symlink
gdb-add-index: [Was there no debuginfo? Was there already an index?]
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 25712 Mar 19 23:05 a.out*
-rw------- 1 8277 Mar 19 23:05 a.out.gdb-index
lrwxrwxrwx 1 5 Mar 19 23:05 symlink -> a.out*
GDB generates the .gdb-index file with a name that matches the name of
the actual program (a.out.gdb-index here), not the symlink that
references it. The remaining of the script is looking for a file named
after the provided argument (would be 'symlink.gdb-index' in our
example).

* contrib/gdb-add-index.sh: Fix when called with a symlink as an
argument.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
