WHAT group is actually in favor of MiniDebugInfo? It has one single person
as the feature owner. ABRT developers consider it useless. Who actually
wants it? And are you sure those who think they want it realize what it
really means?
Let's take a simple example:
$ gdb --args sleep 10
(gdb) r
(press Ctrl-C)
(gdb) bt
#0 0xb7fdc424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7eb94f0 in __nanosleep_nocancel () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x0804b232 in ?? ()
#3 0x08048f99 in ?? ()
#4 0xb7e166b3 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
#5 0x08049085 in ?? ()
What MiniDebugInfo will give you (not tested):
#0 0xb7fdc424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7eb94f0 in __nanosleep_nocancel () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x0804b232 in xnanosleep () from /usr/bin/sleep
#3 0x08048f99 in main () from /usr/bin/sleep
#4 0xb7e166b3 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
#5 0x08049085 in ?? ()
With coreutils-debuginfo, glibc-debuginfo and glibc-debuginfo-common
installed:
#0 0xb7fdc424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7eb94f0 in __nanosleep_nocancel ()
at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82
#2 0x0804b232 in xnanosleep (seconds=10) at xnanosleep.c:111
#3 0x08048f99 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfffef24) at sleep.c:147
Spot the difference…
