Subject: gdb/hip: Prepare for DWARF-assembler-based HIP testcases
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b43c744924b3f5df3677dbe97d12608e63ca5a4d;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

gdb/hip: Prepare for DWARF-assembler-based HIP testcases

Compiling a testcase with debug info (by passing passing "debug" as
gdb_compile option) has the effect of passing -g to the compiler.  -g
in turn enables an LLVM option that is essential for debugging:
'-mllvm -amdgpu-spill-cfi-saved-regs'.

That option affects code generation, and some features of the DWARF
assembler machinery rely on code generated by the compiler without -g
to be the exact same as the code generated with -g.

This patch addresses that by always compiling with the LLVM option
that -g would enable.
