Here's what's going on, as +# best as I can tell. +# +# The definition of `struct A' in `hang.H' refers to `struct B' as an +# incomplete type. The stabs declare type number (1,3) to be a cross- +# reference type, `xsB:'. +# +# The definition of `struct C' contains a nested definition for +# `struct B' --- or more properly, `struct C::B'. However, the stabs +# fail to qualify the structure tag: it just looks like a definition +# for `struct B'. I think this is a compiler bug, but perhaps GCC +# doesn't emit qualified names for a reason. +# +# `hang.H' gets #included by both `hang1.C' and `hang2.C'. So the +# stabs for `struct A', the incomplete `struct B', and `struct C' +# appear in both hang1.o's and hang2.o's stabs. +# +# When those two files are linked together, since hang2.o appears +# later in the command line, its #inclusion of `hang.H' gets replaced +# with an N_EXCL stab, referring back to hang1.o's stabs for the +# header file. +# +# When GDB builds psymtabs for the executable hang, it notes that +# hang2.o's stabs contain an N_EXCL referring to a header that appears +# in full in hang1.o's stabs. So hang2.o's psymtab lists a dependency +# on hang1.o's psymtab. +# +# When the user types the command `print var_in_b', GDB scans the +# psymtabs for a symbol by that name, and decides to read full symbols +# for `hang2.o'. +# +# Since `hang2.o''s psymtab lists `hang1.o' as a dependency, GDB first +# reads `hang1.o''s symbols. When GDB sees `(1,3)=xsB:', it creates a +# type object for `struct B', sets its TYPE_FLAG_STUB flag, and +# records it as type number `(1,3)'. +# +# When GDB finds the definition of `struct C::B', since the stabs +# don't indicate that the type is nested within C, it treats it as +# a definition of `struct B'. +# +# When GDB is finished reading `hang1.o''s symbols, it calls +# `cleanup_undefined_types'. This function mistakes the definition of +# `struct C::B' for a definition for `struct B', and overwrites the +# incomplete type object for the real `struct B', using `memcpy'. Now +# stabs type number `(1,3)' refers to this (incorrect) complete type. +# Furthermore, the `memcpy' simply copies the original's `cv_type' +# field to the target, giving the target a corrupt `cv_type' ring: the +# chain does not point back to the target type. +# +# Having satisfied `hang2.o''s psymtab's dependencies, GDB begins to +# read `hang2.o''s symbols. These contain the true definition for +# `struct B', which refers to type number `(1,3)' as the type it's +# defining. GDB looks up type `(1,3)', and finds the (incorrect) +# complete type established by the call to `cleanup_undefined_types' +# above. However, it doesn't notice that the type is already defined, +# and passes it to `read_struct_type', which then writes the new +# definition's size, field list, etc. into the type object which +# already has those fields initialized. Adding insult to injury, +# `read_struct_type' then calls `finish_cv_type'; since the `memcpy' +# in `cleanup_undefined_types' corrupted the target type's `cv_type' +# ring, `finish_cv_type' enters an infinite loop. + +gdb_test "print var_in_b" " = 1729" "can read debug info" diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang1.C b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang1.C new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4b04d77e68c --- /dev/null +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang1.C @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +#include "hang.H" + +int main (int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang2.C b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang2.C new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..59732f87d63 --- /dev/null +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.c++/hang2.C @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +#include "hang.H" + +struct B +{ + int member_of_B; +}; + +int var_in_b = 1729;
