SEGV during AX eval of OP_DOUBLE (unsupported)
To reproduce the problem, simply try the following with any program:
(gdb) maintenance agent-eval 1.0
Critical error handler: process [...] terminated due to access violation
(this is on Windows; on GNU/Linux, the libc copes better)
The problem is quite simple: gen_expr is given an expression that
contains an unrecognized operator (OP_DOUBLE in this case). When that
happens, it tries to report an error with a string image of the operator
in the error message. Conversion of the opcode into a string is done
using op_string which, despite its name, probably is not what the author
was looking for. This function returns NULL for a lot of the opcodes,
thus triggering the crash.
There is a function that corresponds to what we are looking for:
expprint.c:op_name. It was static, though, so I made it non-static,
and used it from ax-gdb.c:gen_expr.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* expression.h (op_name): Add declaration.
* expprint.c (op_name): Remove declaration. Make non-static.
* ax-gdb.c (gen_expr): Use op_name instead of op_string.
