When loading a mach-o (macOS) executable and trying to set a breakpoint,
a GDB built with ASan or -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG will crash with an
out-of-bound vector access. This can be reproduced on Linux using the
repro files in bug 28017 [1]:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q repro/test -ex "b main" -batch
/usr/include/c++/11.1.0/debug/vector:445:
In function:
std::__debug::vector<_Tp, _Allocator>::const_reference
std::__debug::vector<_Tp,
_Allocator>::operator[](std::__debug::vector<_Tp,
_Allocator>::size_type) const [with _Tp = long unsigned int; _Allocator
= std::allocator<long unsigned int>; std::__debug::vector<_Tp,
_Allocator>::const_reference = const long unsigned int&;
std::__debug::vector<_Tp, _Allocator>::size_type = long unsigned int]
Error: attempt to subscript container with out-of-bounds index 13, but
container only holds 13 elements.
Objects involved in the operation:

The section being dealt with at that moment is the special *COM*
section:
(top-gdb) p section.name
$1 = 0x55555a1bbe60 "*COM*"
(top-gdb) p section
$2 = (bfd_section *) 0x55555bbe4ac0 <_bfd_std_section>
I'm not too sure what this section is for, but this is one of four
special BFD sections that GDB puts after the regular sections in the
objfile::sections and objfile::section_offsets lists. You can check
gdb_bfd_section_index to see how they are handled.
gdb_bfd_count_sections returns "+ 4" to account for those sections.
The problem is that macho_symfile_offsets uses bfd_count_sections
instead of gdb_bfd_count_sections when allocating the
objfile::section_offsets vector. The vector will therefore contain,
say, 13 elements instead of 17. When trying to access the section
offset of the *COM* section, the first after the regular sections, we
access section_offsets[13], which is out of bounds.
Fix that by using gdb_bfd_count_sections instead of bfd_count_sections.
I'm fairly confident that this is correct, as this is what
default_symfile_offsets does.
With this patch, the command shown above terminates normally:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q repro/test -ex "b main" -batch
