Hi, I have some third party code with the following typedef:
typedef void VOID; I found in the readelf dump of the .debug_info section that the corresponding DW_TAG_typedef entry had no DW_AT_type attribute (which usually links to a DW_TAG_base_type entry). It seems that gcc does not emit a DW_TAG_base_type entry for void. Is that intentional? In this program there are only DW_TAG_pointer_type entries linking to this DW_TAG_typedef entry. Without the typedef, I would have expected (perhaps naively) that the DW_TAG_pointer_type would link to a DW_TAG_base_type for void (in the case of a void * pointer type). Is that not the case? I am using gcc 4.0.3 and binutils 2.16.1 in case that matters. Just curious. Ron McCall
