The parsing method did not check reading errors and might easily fall into an infinite loop on an invalid input because of that.

6 | It might make sense to extend this test to show that LLD doesn't use the warned-for pubnames section, if there's a way for that to make sense. | |

1 ↗ | (On Diff #275105) | I guess the pubnames section is fairly straightforward, but I personally feel like it would be best to write the testing for this and D83050 as gtest unit tests. That being said, a single test that shows how llvm-dwarfdump handles errors for malformed pubnames sections might make sense, although in that case I'd put it alongside the debug_line_invalid.test in the llvm-dwarfdump directory. I would probably add basic coverage for the .debug_pubtypes and the GNU variant sections too, since they go through different code paths to get there. |

59 | This helps to have access to the sec field without casing. That is used in readPubNamesAndTypes(). | |
lld/ELF/SyntheticSections.cpp | ||
2713 | OK, changed to config->wordsize to avoid uncertainties. | |
lld/test/ELF/gdb-index-invalid-pubnames.s | ||
6 | This test is solely about avoiding hanging in LLD; it should be as short and simple as possible. There are other tests for LLD to check that the information from .debug_gnu_pub* sections is passed to the index. And there are (or will be) tests for llvm-dwarfdump to check what is read from valid or malformed sections. | |
llvm/test/DebugInfo/X86/dwarfdump-debug-pubnames-invalid.s | ||
1 ↗ | (On Diff #275105) | I usually prefer lit tests, because they are much handier and easier to maintain, especially in cases like that, with just two line of source code and a few RUN/CHECK commands. I'll move the test to the directory of llvm-dwarfdump tests and extend it to cover all four tables. |

---|---|---|
3–8 | Might be nice if you could test all these in one go? (so it's one invocation of llvm-dwarfdump rather than 4 - save on process overhead, etc) |
