This check has a pair of faults which, combined, can lead to memory
corruption. Firstly, it assumes that the values of the ctf_link_inputs
hash are ctf_dict_t's: they are not, they are ctf_link_input_t's, a much
shorter structure. So the flags check which is the core of this is
faulty (but happens, by chance, to give the right output on most
architectures, since usually we happen to get a 0 here, so the test that
checks this usually passes). Worse, the warning that is emitted when
the test fails is added to the wrong dict -- it's added to the input
dict, whose warning list is never consumed, rendering the whole check
useless. But the dict it adds to is still the wrong type, so we end up
overwriting something deep in memory (or, much more likely,
dereferencing a garbage pointer and crashing).
Fixing both reveals another problem: the link input is an *archive*
consisting of multiple members, so we have to consider whether to check
all of them for the outdated-func-info thing we are checking here.
However, no compiler exists that emits a mixture of members with this
flag on and members with it off, and the linker always reserializes (and
upgrades) such things when it sees them: so all members in a given
archive must have the same value of the flag, so we only need to check
one member per input archive.

* ctf-link.c (ctf_link_warn_outdated_inputs): Get the types of
members of ctf_link_inputs right, fixing a possible spurious
tesst failure / wild pointer deref / overwrite. Emit the
warning message into the right dict.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
