What is the DWARF type of char[], as output by the DMD backend?
I have compiled this sample:
import std.stdio;
int main()
{
char[] greet = "Hello";
writefln(greet);
return 0;
}
Then ran
readelf -w hello
As shown in this snippet, the type of greet is unsigned long long (entry at offset <c2>):
<1><c2>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
DW_AT_name : unsigned long long
DW_AT_byte_size : 8
DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<1><d8>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
DW_AT_sibling : <104>
DW_AT_name : _Dmain
DW_AT_decl_file : 1
DW_AT_decl_line : 3
DW_AT_type : <bb>
DW_AT_low_pc : 0x804a358
DW_AT_high_pc : 0x804a383
DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 55 (DW_OP_reg5)
<2><f5>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
DW_AT_name : greet
DW_AT_type : <c2>
DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 78 (DW_OP_fbreg: -8)
