From: Joel Brobecker Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 01:03:54 +0000 (+0000) Subject: infinite recursion with ada_check_typedef X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3a867c2212df1b93fbac759ba26093512949ff19;p=binutils-gdb.git infinite recursion with ada_check_typedef When trying to resolve an incomplete type, if there is no complete version of that type available, GDB can go in an infinite loop. This is because ada_check_typedef makes a recursive call to itself, in an attempt to make sure that the returned type is never a typedef. However, when no complete type is found, the current logic causes us to keep going indefinitely through the same path... This patch fixes the problem by performing the recursive call to ada_check_typedef only when a TYPE_CODE_TYPDEF layer needs to be stripped. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_check_typedef): Call ada_check_typedef only if type1 is a typedef. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 18de3896625..15ed81bb52c 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2010-11-22 Joel Brobecker + + * ada-lang.c (ada_check_typedef): Call ada_check_typedef only + if type1 is a typedef. + 2010-11-22 Joel Brobecker * ada-lang.h (ADA_KNOWN_AUXILIARY_FUNCTION_NAME_PATTERNS): Add diff --git a/gdb/ada-lang.c b/gdb/ada-lang.c index 76b20e747fc..15c96b72531 100644 --- a/gdb/ada-lang.c +++ b/gdb/ada-lang.c @@ -7756,10 +7756,12 @@ ada_check_typedef (struct type *type) /* TYPE1 might itself be a TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF (this can happen with stubs pointing to arrays, as we don't create symbols for array - types, only for the typedef-to-array types).
