[gdb/tui,c++17] Fix NULL string_view in tui_partial_win_by_name
When building gdb with CFLAGS=-std=gnu17 and CXXFLAGS=-std=gnu++17 and running
test-case gdb.tui/new-layout.exp, we run into:
...
UNRESOLVED: gdb.tui/new-layout.exp: left window box after shrink (ll corner)
FAIL: gdb.tui/new-layout.exp: right window box after shrink (ll corner)
...
In a minimal form, we run into an abort when issuing a winheight command:
...
$ gdb -tui -ex "winheight src - 5"
<tui stuff>
Aborted (core dumped)
$
...
with this backtrace at the abort:
...
\#0 0x0000000000438db0 in std::char_traits<char>::length (__s=0x0)
at /usr/include/c++/9/bits/char_traits.h:335
\#1 0x000000000043b72e in std::basic_string_view<char, \
std::char_traits<char> >::basic_string_view (this=0x7fffffffd4f0, \
__str=0x0) at /usr/include/c++/9/string_view:124
\#2 0x000000000094971b in tui_partial_win_by_name (name="src")
at src/gdb/tui/tui-win.c:663
...
due to a NULL comparison which constructs a string_view object from NULL:
...
657 /* Answer the window represented by name. */
658 static struct tui_win_info *
659 tui_partial_win_by_name (gdb::string_view name)
660 {
661 struct tui_win_info *best = nullptr;
662
663 if (name != NULL)
...
In gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h, we either use:
- gdb's copy of libstdc++-v3/include/experimental/string_view, or
- the standard implementation of string_view, when built with C++17 or later
(which in gcc's case comes from libstdc++-v3/include/std/string_view)
In the first case, there's support for constructing a string_view from a NULL
pointer:
...
/*constexpr*/ basic_string_view(const _CharT* __str)
: _M_len{__str == nullptr ? 0 : traits_type::length(__str)},
_M_str{__str}
{ }
...
but in the second case, there's not:
...
__attribute__((__nonnull__)) constexpr
basic_string_view(const _CharT* __str) noexcept
: _M_len{traits_type::length(__str)},
_M_str{__str}
{ }
...
Fix this by removing the NULL comparison altogether.
Build on x86_64-linux with CFLAGS=-std=gnu17 and CXXFLAGS=-std=gnu++17, and
tested.
