Make sure that sorting does not change section order
Symbol files may contain multiple sections with the same name. Section addresses specified by add-symbol-file are assigned to the corresponding BFD sections in addr_info_make_relative using sorted indexes of both vectors. Since the sort algorithm is not inherently stable, the comparison function uses sectindex to maintain the original order. However, add_symbol_file_command uses zero for all sections, so if the user specifies multiple sections with the same name, they will be assigned randomly to symbol file sections with the same name. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-06-28 Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz> * symfile.c (add_symbol_file_command): Make sure that sections
