[gdb/symtab] Add optimized out static var to cooked index
Consider the test-case: ... $ cat main.c int main (void) { return 0; } $ cat static-optimized-out.c static int aaa; ... compiled like this: ... $ gcc-12 static-optimized-out.c main.c -g -O2 -flto ... There's a difference in behaviour depending on symtab expansion state: ... $ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "print aaa" No symbol "aaa" in current context. $ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "maint expand-symtab" -ex "print aaa" $1 = <optimized out> ... The reason for the difference is that the optimized out variable aaa: ... <1><104>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable) <105> DW_AT_name : aaa <109> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <10a> DW_AT_decl_line : 18 <10b> DW_AT_decl_column : 12 <10c> DW_AT_type : <0x110> ... is not added to the cooked index because of this clause in abbrev_table::read: ... else if (!has_location && !has_specification_or_origin && !has_external && cur_abbrev->tag == DW_TAG_variable) cur_abbrev->interesting = false; ... Fix this inconsistency by making sure that the optimized out variable is added to the cooked index. Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Add two test-cases, a C test-case gdb.opt/static-optimized-out.exp and a dwarf assembly test-case gdb.dwarf2/static-optimized-out.exp. Tested gdb.opt/static-optimized-out.exp with gcc-8 to gcc-12, for which we now consistently get: ... (gdb) print aaa^M $1 = <optimized out>^M ... and with gcc 7.5.0 and clang 13.0.1, for which we still consistently get: ... (gdb) print aaa^M No symbol "aaa" in current context.^M ... due to missing debug info for the variable.
