On all of our platforms, db_expr_t is a signed integer while db_addr_t is an unsigned integer value. db_search_symbol used variables of type db_expr_t to hold the current offset of the requested address from the "best" symbol found so far. This value was initialized to '~0'. When a new symbol is found from a symbol table, the associated diff for the new symbol is compared against the existing value as 'if (newdiff < diff)' to determine if the new symbol had a smaller diff and was thus a closer match. On 64-bit MIPS, the '~0' was treated as a negative value (-1). A lookup that found a perfect match of an address against a symbol returned a diff of 0. However, in signed comparisons, 0 is not less than -1. As a result, DDB on 64-bit MIPS never resolved any addresses to symbols. Workaround this by using casts to force an unsigned comparison. Probably the diff returned from db_search_symbol() and X_db_search_symbol() should be changed to a db_addr_t instead of a db_expr_t as it is an unsigned value (and is an offset of an address, so should fit in the same size as an address).
