$ clang --version

I am unable to reproduce this on my mac -- which is at 10.13.6 but a slightly different clang version:

Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.2)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

The error you're seeing is one that happens very early in the .debug_info read, seeming to indicate that the DWARF is truncated or missing.

FWIW I can't find your clang version in

https://gist.github.com/yamaya/2924292
or
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/XcodeVersionInfo

is there anything unusual about it?

https://gist.github.com/yamaya/2924292

I didn't do anything unusual. That is the version I get when I uninstall (rm -rf /Library/CommandLineTools) and type
'clang --version' and following the prompts.

I also uninstalled and downloaded the most recent version from:
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

Command Line Tools (macOS 10.13) for Xcode 10.1 Nov 2, 2018

This installer installs the exact same version.

googling for "Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.4)" leads me to this:
https://gist.github.com/yamaya/2924292#gistcomment-2801685

timothyham · 2019-02-14T22:59:21Z

Interestingly, I uninstalled CommandLineTools and installed Xcode from the App store.
App store information says Update: Oct 30, 2018, Version: 10.1

and got a different clang version:

Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

I still get the same test error though.

thanm · 2019-02-15T17:27:53Z

@timothyham are you willing to try a few examples to gather more info?
For a small himom.go type program, try this:

rm himom
go clean -cache
rm -rf /tmp/xxx
mkdir /tmp/xxx
go build -x -work "-ldflags=-tmpdir=/tmp/xxx -linkmode=external -v" himom.go

In the output from the go build line there should be a "host link:" execution -- what does that look like?

Also, what do you get when you run "objdump -section-headers" on the resulting executable (himom)?

I'm grasping at straws here; without a way to reproduce the problem on my own machine it's hard to know what to suggest.

timothyham · 2019-02-15T17:51:43Z

@thanm Thanks for your help. I am happy to run whatever to diagnose this problem.

Clang invocation looks fine, but in spite of the "-g" flags, the resulting executable has no DWARF (which is obviously not what we're expecting).

One more experiment if you can manage, please. After running the "go build" command, just replay the clang host link invocation, but tack on a "-v", e.g.

"clang" "-m64" "-Wl,-headerpad,1144" "-Wl,-no_pie" "-Wl,-pagezero_size,4
000000" "-o" "/var/folders/jw/jl09r8zn7yxcg04glntytrl07k6c17/T/go-build355345930/b001/exe
/a.out" "-Qunused-arguments" "/tmp/xxx/go.o" "/tmp/xxx/000000.o" "/tmp/xxx/000001.o" "/tm
p/xxx/000002.o" "/tmp/xxx/000003.o" "/tmp/xxx/000004.o" "/tmp/xxx/000005.o" "/tmp/xxx/000
006.o" "/tmp/xxx/000007.o" "/tmp/xxx/000008.o" "/tmp/xxx/000009.o" "/tmp/xxx/000010.o" "-
g" "-O2" "-g" "-O2" "-lpthread" "-no-pie"

Then look at the section headers again with objdump. [This will hopefully tell us whether the problem is with clang or with dsymutil]

Thanks, but I think you need to run objdump on /var/folders/jw/jl09r8zn7yxcg04glntytrl07k6c17/T/go-build400191060/b001/exe/a.out (that's the output of the clang invocation you ran).

@timothyham thanks for that.

I am stumped at this point -- I will ask around and see what I can discover. Stay tuned.

timothyham · 2019-02-15T20:59:17Z

Thanks for looking. Since you cannot reproduce the problem, it must be something different about my machine. Can't imagine what though.

thanm · 2019-09-17T19:04:21Z

@timothyham Is this issue still causing problems for you -- can it be closed out?

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

What did you expect to see?

What did you see instead?
