I built a random project with -gctf, in order to test the CTF support in
GDB. With my ASan/UBSan/etc-enabled build of GDB, I get:
$ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory /tmp/babeltrace-ctf/src/lib/.libs/libbabeltrace2.so.0.0.0
...

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ctfread.c:1545:31: runtime error: member call on misaligned address 0xbebebebebebebebe for type 'struct buildsym_compunit', which requires 8 byte alignment
0xbebebebebebebebe: note: pointer points here
The 0xbebebebebebebebe value is a sign that the ctf_context::builder
field is uninitialized. The problem probably goes under the radar if
the field happens to be zero-initialized, because ctf_start_archive
contains this code:
if (ccx->builder == nullptr)
{
ccx->builder = new buildsym_compunit (of,
of->original_name, nullptr, language_c, 0);
If the field was zero-initialized (by chance), this will create a new
buildsym_compunit. But if the field was purposely filled with random
bytes by one of the sanitizers, we won't create a buildsym_compunit here
and we'll continue with ccx->builder equal to 0xbebebebebebebebe.
Fix this the easy way by initializing ccx->builder where the other
ctf_context fields are initialized (yeah, this code could be made nicer
C++, but I am going for the obvious fix here).
With this patch, this passes cleanly on my system:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.ctf/*.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="CC_FOR_TARGET=/opt/gcc/git/bin/gcc"
# of expected passes 40
... where /opt/gcc/git/bin/gcc is a gcc with CTF support, given my
system gcc does not have it.

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.
