Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|WAITING |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |NOTABUG --- Comment #16 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Hi Dan, (In reply to Dan McDonald from comment #15) > 1.) Thank you for confirming there was a doc update and I should've RTFM > more carefully. There's a philosophical argument about surprising chnages, > but given the next item I'm not going to raise a stink. Thanks. I am sorry that this change caused you so much hassle. At the time it seemed rather obvious - bss sections do not contain anything (on disk) so disassembling them could not produce any useful information. In hindsight of course this assumption was wrong. > 2.) My use of the `-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss` compiler/gcc flag cured > what ailed me. Hooray. I was wondering however - exactly what is it that your testsuite is checking for ? Maybe there is way to conduct the test without relying on objdump to disassemble .bss sections... > This was educational. Thank you for your time & patience. And thank you for taking the time to report this problem and then persist in helping me to understand the real issue.
