Hi Jason.

After my last set of dwarf changes for locals, I found some target 
library building failures which I am now fixing.

The problem at hand is that, by design, the caching code in 
gen_variable_die() refuses to use a previously cached DIE if the current 
context and the cached context are different:

        else if (old_die->die_parent != context_die)
         {
           /* If the contexts differ, it means we're not talking about
              the same thing.  Clear things so we can get a new DIE.
              This can happen when creating an inlined instance, in
              which case we need to create a new DIE that will get
              annotated with DW_AT_abstract_origin.  */
           old_die = NULL;
           gcc_assert (!DECL_ABSTRACT_P (decl));
         }

This is causing problems with local statics which are handled at 
dwarf2out_late_global_decl, and which originally have a context of the 
compilation unit (by virtue of the dwarf2out_decl call).  This context 
then gets changed here:

       /* For local statics lookup proper context die.  */
       if (TREE_STATIC (decl)
	  && DECL_CONTEXT (decl)
	  && TREE_CODE (DECL_CONTEXT (decl)) == FUNCTION_DECL)
	context_die = lookup_decl_die (DECL_CONTEXT (decl));

This new context may be correct for front/middle-end purposes, but is 
not the DIE context I am expecting in gen_variable_die.  For example, in 
the following example, the DECL_CONTEXT for the static is funky's 
DW_TAG_subprogram, whereas the caching code is expecting the 
DW_TAG_lexical_block:

	void funky()
	{
	  {
	    static const char *nested_static_const = "testing123";
	  }
	}

My proposed way of handling it (attached) is by tightening the check in 
gen_variable_die(), and special casing this scenario (assuming, there is 
no other way to get a differing context).  This works, and fixes all the 
failures, without introducing any regressions.

Another approach would be to use whatever context is already cached with 
just "context_die = lookup_decl_die (decl)", but that feels like cheating.

Are you OK with the attached approach, or do you have something else in 
mind?

Thanks.
Aldy

    	* dwarf2out.c (gen_subprogram_die): Handle as cached die if
    	dumped_early bit is set.
    	(dwarf2out_decl): Abstract local static check...
    	(local_function_static): ...into here.
    	(gen_variable_die): Handle different contexts in a cached die
    	gracefully for the non inline case.

Can we remove this and just leave the context as NULL until it gets 
fixed up?

Never mind, it looks like that'll require more work in gen_variable_die. 
  Your patch looks fine.

Hah, I was just going to say that :).

I will push my patch to the branch.

Thanks for your input.
