Bug#931962: diffoscope: Falls back to raw hexdump with "NOBITS eh_frame" in ELF binaries (was: "Re: diffoscope: Doesn't behave nicely in the face of NOBITS eh_frame")

[Chris Lamb]

clone 931962 -1 
reassign -1 diffoscope
retitle -1 diffoscope: Please include stderr from readelf in output
severity -1 normal
retitle 931962 diffoscope: Falls back to raw hexdump with "NOBITS eh_frame" in ELF binaries
thanks

Hi Mike,

Thank you for filing this. Just as a bit of bug triage, I'm going to
split this in two:

> First, there's the problem that diffoscope only displays readelf's
> stdout, and its stderr is lost, which it contains the most important
> information:
>   section '.eh_frame' has the NOBITS type - its contents are unreliable.

(This will be bug -1, keeping the rest as #931962.)


Best wishes,
