freemaster crashes when loading an elf file generated by gcc 11

Hello together,

I load an elf in freemaster, but when I try to save the project, freemaster crashes.

The elf file is generated by arm-none-eabi-gcc version 11.3.1. But when I compile the same source code with arm-none-eabi-gcc version 10.3.1, freemaster works fine.

Here is the version of freemaster.

You can also find the elf which makes freemaster crash in the attachment.

It's very nice of you to give some help.

Hello,

I can confirm the error when parsing the ELF file format generated by GCC11.

We will analyze the issue and provide more information here.

Thank you,
Michal

Hello,

until this is resolved, you should be able to use -gdwarf-4 gcc option as a workaround. The issue seems to be related to Dwarf version 5 parsing.

Michal

The problem still remain in case we are including any library (also from NXP ) that was not created with that option.

is there any plan to solve the gdwarf 5 issue ?.
