dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit has this in its binary search:

      if (mid_cu->is_dwz > offset_in_dwz
	  || (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz
	      && mid_cu->sect_off + mid_cu->length >= sect_off))
	high = mid;

The intent here is to determine whether SECT_OFF appears in or before
MID_CU.

I believe this has an off-by-one error, and that the check should use
">" rather than ">=".  If the two side are equal, then SECT_OFF
actually appears at the start of the next CU.

I've had this patch kicking around for ages but I forget how I found
the problem.

I can only convince myself of these things by plugging in real numbers.  So let's say
mid_cu's range is [100,150[, so 150 bytes long, and we are looking for sect_off == 150.
150 is outside (just after) mid_cu's range, so the right answer will be the cu just
after this one.

Without your change, we would have gone in the "if", and therefore excluded the right
answer.  With your change, we would have gone in the "else", and therefore chosen the
range with the right answer.  So that looks correct to me.

I'm going to ask if you thought about a way to test this.  I don't think writing a typical
test case for this is feasible.  By refactoring the code a bit, we could maybe factor out the
meat of this function into one that operates on an std::vector<dwarf2_per_cu_data> instead
of on a dwarf2_per_objfile.  It should then be feasible to create an std::vector with
dwarf2_per_cu_data elements out of thin air to unit-test the function, including edge
cases like this.

Also, do you understand what's the logic with this dwz stuff?  Is it that all the CUs
coming from a dwz file are at the end of the list, or something like that?

Yeah.  And like I said, I don't remember how I encountered this.
Maybe only with some other dubious patch in place.

Another idea that occurred to me is that we could just use
std::binary_search here.  Then instead of implementing a binary search,
we'd only need to implement a comparison function -- which seems
simpler.

Anyway I will try to write a unit test, that's a good idea.

Yes, exactly.  Maybe this can be cleaned up a bit after this series,
since now we have the index directly in the dwarf2_per_cu_data.  I am
not sure offhand.

Here is a new version of this patch.
I propose landing it separately, because it is just a straightforward
latent bug fix.

Simon> Also, do you understand what's the logic with this dwz stuff?  Is it that all the CUs

Tom> Yes, exactly.

To expand on that, in multi-file mode, dwz may create a combined, shared
file of partial symtabs.  When reading the DWARF for the main file, gdb
may find it needs the dwz file; and in this case the additional CUs are
put into the same vector, at the end.  It's done this way so that we
can easily find the correct CU (since the section offsets between the
main and shared dwz file will overlap).

It would probably be better to try to share these CUs across objfiles.
That may be somewhat involved given the current code, though.

Oops, I meant to attach the patch in that last email.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks, that LGTM.  If you want to use std::binary_search, that would be fine
as well.

I tried this but it wasn't notably simpler and it meant changes to the
error handling, so I dropped it.

Re std::binary_search, we do have GDB::binary_search which is more
useful/easier to use.
