Subject: "maint print arch" causing gdb crash
Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:15:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <506EEAEC.2010604@codesourcery.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 610 bytes --]
Hi,
'gdbarch_dump' is in some cases passing a NULL pointer to 'sprintf' when
printing 'gdbarch->stap_gdb_register_suffix' etc. Printing NULL
pointers like this is undefined behavior. With glibc passing a NULL
pointer just prints "(null)". With the MSVC libc, however, GDB crashes.
Attached patch fixes this issue using the similar approach discussed in
following scenario:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-10/msg00662.html
There are some newly added variables due to which "maint print arch"
command was causing gdb crash on whindows host. This patch takes care of
them.
OK?
Thanks,
-Ali
