From 579715f830fbbca9e1ecb17dc18176132f5969e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rami Ylimaki Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:16:57 +0200 Subject: os: Prevent backtrace from being stopped in noreturn functions. There are two noreturn functions in the X server: FatalError and AbortServer. Having any of those two functions in the middle of a call stack will prevent unwinding the program properly and stops the backtrace at those functions in gdb. The file containing FatalError and AbortServer, os/log.c, has to be compiled with the -mapcs-frame option on ARM to get proper backtraces. Automake imposes its own restrictions on compiling individual source files with different options. The recommended way to do this is to put os/log.c into a convenience library and add this library inside os/libos.la. See the documentation of GNU Automake manual, version 1.11.1, section 27.8 Per-Object Flags Emulation, for details.
