void pointer initlalized as a class not identified

[manig28]

Hi,

I am facing an issue with the elftools. I am trying to fetch dwarf information from a binary compiled from c++.
What i am seeing is , if i initialize a pointer of type void with a class. we don't get that class or constructor in the DIEs fetched from the binary. Is this expected ? Can somebody please look into it ?

The class definition is most likely there in the DWARF info. The fact that the pointer holds an address of an instance of that class is most likely lost. Think about it: when you look at a void pointer in the IDE's watch window, does the debugger know what does the pointer really hold?

The fact that at some point you construct an instance of the class and assign that to a void pointer type variable is not the kind of thing that debug info holds.

@manig28 : is this still an issue?
