Subject: Correction of a crash in sim_memory_uninstall
Date: Sat, 03 Apr 1999 11:37:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <37066006.ACFDED96@worldnet.fr> (raw)

Hi!

I've found a problem in the common part of the simulator.
It crashes in `sim_memory_uninstall' when the simulator terminates.

The problem is when this operation walks a list and frees the
sim_memopt objects. It frees the entry (line 457, call to zfree)
and then gets the pointer to the next one, accessing the freed data
(line 461, *entry = (*entry)->next). 

One fix consist in updating 'entry' before the while loop.

Hope this helps,

	Stephane

Running the testsuite with gdb-4.17.87 on m68k-motorola-sysv, I got
(among others) the following failure :

Looking at the expected result, I see :

        -re ".*$gdb_prompt $" { fail "step into print_long_arg_list" }
        timeout { fail "step into print_long_arg_list (timeout)" }
    }


For me, the differences are in the last digits of some float or double numbers.
Isn't the test too strict ?
