From FEDORA_PATCHES Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fedora GDB patches Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 21:07:50 +0200 Subject: gdb_assert -> complaint for weird DWARF FileName: gdb-gnat-dwarf-crash-3of3.patch ;; Fix crash of -readnow /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/gnatbind.debug (BZ 1069211). ;;=push+jan http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00731.html --6TrnltStXW4iwmi0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, PR 16581: GDB crash on inherit_abstract_dies infinite recursion https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16581 fixed crash from an infinite recursion. But in rare cases the new code can now gdb_assert() due to weird DWARF file. I do not yet fully understand why the DWARF is as it is but just GDB should never crash due to invalid DWARF anyway. The "invalid" DWARF I see only in Fedora GCC build, not in FSF GCC build, more info at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069382 http://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/gcc-debuginfo-4.8.2-7.fc20.x86_64-gnatbind.debug Thanks, Jan --6TrnltStXW4iwmi0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline; filename="complaint.patch" gdb/ 2014-02-24 Jan Kratochvil * dwarf2read.c (process_die): Change gdb_assert to complaint. --- gdb/dwarf2read.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/gdb/dwarf2read.c b/gdb/dwarf2read.c index fbaa0af64f..2c972d5e74 100644 --- a/gdb/dwarf2read.c +++ b/gdb/dwarf2read.c @@ -10612,6 +10612,14 @@ private: static void process_die (struct die_info *die, struct dwarf2_cu *cu) { + if (die->in_process) + { + complaint (&symfile_complaints, + _("DIE at 0x%x attempted to be processed twice"), + to_underlying (die->sect_off)); + return; + } + process_die_scope scope (die, cu); switch (die->tag) -- 2.14.3
