DWARF info seem to be wrong for DW_AT_high_pc with gcc 4.8.2

As a newbie to DWARF, I tried the code presented in this page (code is here) but when I launch it I get: ``` $> ./dwarf_get_func_addr tracedprog DW_TAG_subprogram: 'do_stuff' abort() in libdwarf. No error argument, no handler. zsh: abort (core dumped) ./dwarf_get_func_addr tracedprog ``` After a debugging session, the problem appears to come from line 78: ``` else if (attrcode == DW_AT_high_pc) dwarf_formaddr(attrs[i], &highpc, 0); ``` The problem is, the `form` of `attrs[i]` shows `attrs[i]` is not an address (it is set to 7 instead of 1). Exploring `tracedprog` with `objdump` it gives, for `do_stuff` function: ``` <1><73>: Numéro d'abréviation: 4 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <74> DW_AT_external : 1 <74> DW_AT_name : (chaîne indirecte, décalage: 0x55): do_stuff <78> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <79> DW_AT_decl_line : 4 <7a> DW_AT_prototyped : 1 <7a> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x400500 <82> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x3f <8a> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 bloc d'octets: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa) <8c> DW_AT_GNU_all_tail_call_sites: 1 <8c> DW_AT_sibling : <0xb9> ``` In this output, `DW_AT_high_pc` doesn't seem correct to me as it is only two octets long. For your reference, I compiled `tracedprog` with: ``` $> gcc -g tracedprog2.c -o tracedprog ``` Edit it seems to be a `gcc` issue as there is no issue on another machine. I am using `gcc 4.8.2`.
