With a certain Ada program, ada-lang.c:coerce_unspec_val_to_type can cause a crash. This function may copy a value, and in the particular case in the crash, the new value's type is smaller than the original type. This causes coerce_unspec_val_to_type to create a lazy value -- but the original value is also not_lval, so later, when the value is un-lazied, gdb asserts. As with the previous patch, we believe there is a compiler bug here, but it is difficult to reproduce, so we're not completely certain. In the particular case we saw, the original value has record type, and the record holds some variable-length arrays. This leads to the type's length being 0. At the same time, the value is optimized out. This patch changes coerce_unspec_val_to_type to handle an optimized-out value correctly. It also slightly restructures this code to avoid a crash should a not_lval value wind up here. This is a purely defensive change. This change also made it clear that value_contents_copy_raw can now be made static, so that is also done. gdb/ChangeLog 2021-02-09 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * ada-lang.c (coerce_unspec_val_to_type): Avoid making lazy not_lval value. * value.c (value_contents_copy_raw): Now static. * value.h (value_contents_copy_raw): Don't declare.
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.
