Compute proper length for dynamic types of TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF
This patch fixes gdb/21356 in which we hit an assertion in
value_contents_bits_eq:
(gdb) p container_object2
(gdb) p container_object2
$1 = {_container_member2 = 15, _vla_struct_object2 = {_some_member = 0,
_vla_field = {
../../src/gdb/value.c:829: internal-error: \
int value_contents_bits_eq(const value*, int, const value*, int, int): \
Assertion `offset1 + length \
<= TYPE_LENGTH (val1->enclosing_type) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT' failed.
This is happening because TYPE_LENGTH (val1->enclosing_type) is erroneously
based on enclosing_type, which is a typedef, instead of the actual underlying
type.
This can be traced back to resolve_dynamic_struct, where the size of the
type is computed:
...
TYPE_FIELD_TYPE (resolved_type, i)
= resolve_dynamic_type_internal (TYPE_FIELD_TYPE (resolved_type, i),
&pinfo, 0);
gdb_assert (TYPE_FIELD_LOC_KIND (resolved_type, i)
== FIELD_LOC_KIND_BITPOS);
new_bit_length = TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (resolved_type, i);
if (TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (resolved_type, i) != 0)
new_bit_length += TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (resolved_type, i);
else
new_bit_length += (TYPE_LENGTH (TYPE_FIELD_TYPE (resolved_type, i))
* TARGET_CHAR_BIT);
...
In this function, resolved_type is TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF which is not what we
want to use to calculate the size of the actual field.
This patch fixes this and the similar problem in resolve_dynamic_union.
