[gdb/symtab] Fix gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp with clang
Consider test-case gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp, compiled using clang-10.
GDB fails to get the size of the vla a:
...
(gdb) p sizeof (a)^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x6^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp: o1: printed size of \
optimized out vla
...
The relevant DWARF looks like this: the variable a:
...
<2><12b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_variable)
<12c> DW_AT_name : a
<132> DW_AT_type : <0x189>
...
has type:
...
<1><189>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<18a> DW_AT_type : <0x198>
<2><18e>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<18f> DW_AT_type : <0x19f>
<193> DW_AT_count : <0x117>
...
with the count attribute equated to the value of this artificial variable:
...
<2><117>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_variable)
<118> DW_AT_location : 10 byte block: 75 1 10 ff ff ff ff f 1a 9f \
(DW_OP_breg5 (rdi): 1;
DW_OP_constu:
4294967295;
DW_OP_and;
DW_OP_stack_value)
<123> DW_AT_name : __vla_expr0
<127> DW_AT_type : <0x182>
<12b> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
The location description of the variable is terminated with DW_OP_stack_value,
which according to the DWARF spec means that "the DWARF expression represents
the actual value of the object, rather than its location".
However, in attr_to_dynamic_prop, we set is_reference to true:
...
baton->locexpr.is_reference = true;
...
and use it in dwarf2_evaluate_property to dereference the value of the DWARF
expression, which causes the access to memory at address 0x6.
Fix this by ignoring the baton->locexpr.is_reference == true setting if
the expression evaluation has ctx.location == DWARF_VALUE_STACK, such that we
get:
...
(gdb) p sizeof (a)^M
$2 = 6^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp: o1: printed size of \
optimized out vla
...
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc.
Tested the following test-cases (the ones mentioned in PR26905) on
x86_64-linux with clang-10:
- gdb.base/vla-optimized-out.exp
- gdb.base/vla-ptr.exp
- gdb.mi/mi-vla-c99
