Hi!
Lately I spent some time debugging the internal error problem and it
turns out that in method TCoffObjSection.fixuprelocs the .stabs section
gets damaged: AFAICT the data.write statement in that method tries to
replace a 4-byte offset pointer with an 8-byte (RELOC_ABSOLUTE) one.
Hence, I'd propose to (a) add some check for the data size to the method
data.Seek(objreloc.dataoffset);
data.Write(address,address_size);
if (data.size Size) then
internal error
and (b) there needs to be a patch for .stabs offsets (relocs) to be
4(?!) bytes only. To address (b) I tried to change
TInternalAssembler.WriteStab(p:pchar) to use RELOC_ABSOLUTE32 but that
did not seem to work. Also, I don't know whether the lines
if reloctype=RELOC_RELATIVE then
begin
if win32 then
dec(data,len-4)
in TCoffObjData.writereloc could potenially pose a problem. So in
summing up, perhaps someone of the core-fpc developers can take over
from here and do a fix for this problem?
TIA,
Willi
