From fe10fe3131e688d528877706db1e98e15434c0dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 11:39:09 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Initialize py_type_printers in ext_lang_type_printers When running gdb in the build directory without passing --data-directory, I noticed I could provoke a crash by: $ ./gdb -nx ./gdb (gdb) ptype/o struct dwarf2_per_objfile ... and then trying to "q" out at the pagination prompt. valgrind complained about an uninitialized use of py_type_printers. Initializing this member fixes the bug. I believe this bug can occur even when the gdb Python libraries are available, for example if get_type_recognizers fails. Tested by hand on x86-64 Fedora 26. No test case because it seemed difficult to guarantee failures. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-05-17 Tom Tromey * extension.h (struct ext_lang_type_printers) : Initialize. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/extension.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index eb3c5f772fe..4ae46c1ae44 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2018-05-17 Tom Tromey + + * extension.h (struct ext_lang_type_printers) : + Initialize. + 2018-05-16 Maciej W.
