| Affected Platform/Device: | default |
| Workaround: | Leaving the sys_pcr.obj file out of the link command works, but it's hard to tell that that's the problem file. |
| Release Notes: | The profile decoder, armpdd or pdd2000 or pdd430 or pdd6x, may fail when the program on which it is called includes a file whose functions are not included in the link.
In the test case given, the file sys_pcr.obj contains functions that are not called anywhere and therefore are not included in the .out file. However, due to some quirk that we have not yet isolated, the debug info for sys_pcr.obj *is* included. When the profile decoder collects its data, it uses the debug info to locate it; the faulty extra debug info points to invalid locations, causing the warnings. We don't know yet whether the problem is with a single excluded function, more than one, or a whole file whose functions aren't included. What we have done is to make the profile decoder recognise and ignore the bogus debug info. |
