pahole doesn't understand the new DWARF 4 .debug_types section. I'm using the F15 GCC, but really any recent-enough GCC will do. I compile this: struct s { int x; int y : 5; int z; }; struct s i; int main() { } Like so: gcc -gdwarf-4 -g -o d d.c Running pahole gives an error: $ pahole --class_name=s ./d tag__recode_dwarf_type: couldn't find 0x1d type for 0x51 (variable)! It would be nice to have support for this feature in dwarves, as .debug_types can greatly reduce the size of the debuginfo in the final executable.
