Subject: Bploc should try to return full path
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58539c5f76d4afa25d1b775b29fa00acdb2de578;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Bploc should try to return full path

Compilers often emit relative paths in the line number program,
relative to the build directory for that compilation unit (if it's
DWARF>=4 I think).

Therefore use symtab->fullname() when not null as this seemingly
has attempted path normalization for the symtab and only
fall back on symtab->filename which will never be null if that fails.

This has a much better UX. Applications may choose to expose
this name as a clickable link to some file, at which point
a non-normalized and non-absolute path would lead nowhere.

When I wrote this feature the first time, I don't think this
relative-to-cu-scheme was as prevalent in the output of gcc/clang
for DWARF.
