What did you do?

package main

// To make sure there are pointers defined by function defptrto,
// define a chan variable.

var c chan string

func main() {
	c <- "foo"
}

go build , then use readelf -wi main | grep "Unknown AT value: 2900: 0" to print the dwarf types info.

    <51d2b>   Unknown AT value: 2900: 0

What did you expect to see?

The attr 2900 is DW_AT_go_kind, it should not be 0 in any types.

What did you see instead?

the attr DW_AT_go_kind of some types is 0.

The dwarf syms defined by src/cmd/link/internal/ld/dwarf.go^(*dwctxt).defptrto missed attr DW_AT_go_kind.
