[kaffe] [Patch] Xdebugging with classes without SourceFile attribute

Tue Apr 5 03:50:37 PDT 2005

I've had problems doing xdebugging, gdb failing at startup. Here is one session:

Looking at the corresponding kaffe code, it looks like the case where some 
user classfiles do not have a SourceFile attribute might not be handled 
gracefully: in the gdb session, the offending class has a 0x0 sourcefile 
field. Attached is a small patch that prevents failure in this case.

Note that I could not reproduce this on a small testcase. For the real-world 
situation that provoked this, the segv disappears, but there seems to be a 
deadlock somewhere else, so I cannot this this is fully tested (I never saw 
"Unknown source file" printed, for instance). Still, the patch is very small, 
so if it looks OK please apply it, I think it can only help.

Cheers,

Daniel (yeah, my first non-library patch ;-)
