gdb/rust: fix crash for expression debug with strings
While working on another patch I did this:
(gdb) set debug expression 1
(gdb) set language rust
(gdb) p "foo"
Operation: OP_AGGREGATE
Type: &str
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault
... etc ...
The problem is that the second field of the rust_aggregate_operation
is created as a nullptr, this can be seen in rust-parse.c. in the
function rust_parser::parse_string().
However, in expop.h, in the function dump_for_expression, we make the
assumption that the expressions will never be nullptr.
I did consider moving the nullptr handling into a new function
rust_aggregate_operation::dump, however, as the expression debug
dumping code is not exercised as much as it might be, I would rather
that this code be hardened and able to handle a nullptr without
crashing, so I propose that we add nullptr handling into the general
dump_for_expression function. The behaviour is now:
(gdb) set debug expression 1
(gdb) set language rust
(gdb) p "foo"
Operation: OP_AGGREGATE
Type: &str
nullptr
Vector:
String: data_ptr
Operation: UNOP_ADDR
Operation: OP_STRING
String: foo
String: length
Operation: OP_LONG
Type: usize
Constant: 3
evaluation of this expression requires the target program to be active
(gdb)
There's a new test to check for this case.
