Description
There is a test in our gdb work that has a unit-like struct:
pub struct Unit;
This is in a crate named simple
.
In 1.8 this ended up as a struct Unit
in a namespace simple
; so in gdb print
could easily display simple::Unit
, as that was the name of the type.
In nightly there is an extra namespace:
<2><16d>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_namespace)
<16e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1da): Unit
<172> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<173> DW_AT_decl_line : 45
<3><174>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<175> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1da): Unit
<179> DW_AT_byte_size : 0
... so now the type is named simple::Unit::Unit
.
I think the 1.8 behavior was preferable. I don't think the extra namespace serves a useful purpose.
