Subject: [RFA] varobj.c: check wrapper return value
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 09:06:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.33.0110100856310.2918-100000@makita.cygnus.com> (raw)

Hi,

Varobj has an unchecked return value from "gdb_value_ind" which can cause
a segv from an invalid struct value.

I presume that this should also go into 5.1 if it is not too late. (For
that matter, so should the other changes to varobj.c -- all of which
prevent segvs from happening. My bad.)

Keith

        to dereference a pointer object.
