Impact of bug
Broken license information for packages.
Root cause
describe in one line what caused the issue to give a hint to product teams whether they may be impacted or not
gcc enabled DWARF-5 by default on version 11 (v2024dev2 has v12 while v2023/v2024dev1 uses v10) which changes the format of DW_AT_comp_dir
(and DW_AT_name
) from DW_FORM_strp
to DW_FORM_line_strp
, thus causing dwarf2sources
to fail to parse the DWARF info.
