Subject: [patch] Fix off-by-one bug in elfread.c
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 07:20:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110722230358.CB4ED190B14@elbrus2.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)

Greetings,

While running GDB under Valgrind, I noticed a bunch of errors like this:

==32593== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==32593==    at 0x574F4E: symbol_set_names (/home/src/gdb/symtab.c:622)

==32593==    by 0x49F5EE: svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook (/home/src/gdb/solib-svr4.c:2210)

AFAICT, they are the result of off-by-one bug in elf_rel_plt_read.
Patch attached.

Thanks,
