Approved by Jim Blandy (jimb@redhat.com).
2002-02-21 Fred Fish <fnf@redhat.com> * dbxread.c (process_one_symbol): When finding an N_FUN symbol that marks the end of the range of a function, enter a line number entry that has a line number of zero and a PC offset that matches the end of the function. This starts a range of PC's for which no line number information is known. * symtab.c (find_pc_sect_line): If our best fit is in a range of PC's for which no line number info is found (line number is zero) then we didn't find any valid line information. * symtab.h: Document use of zero line number entry.
