Joel Brobecker 27f2a97baf GDB SEGV while trying to print uninitialize variant record
We have a variant record whose value is defined as follow:

   type Discriminant_Record (Num1, Num2,
                             Num3, Num4 : Natural) is record
      Field1 : My_Record_Array (1 .. Num2);
      Field2 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. 10);
      Field3 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. Num2);
      Field4 : My_Record_Array (Num3 .. Num2);
      Field5 : My_Record_Array (Num4 .. Num2);
   end record;
   Dire : Discriminant_Record (1, 7, 3, 0);

However, we're trying to print "Dire" before it is elaborated.
This is common if one breaks on a function and then starts doing
"info locals" for instance.

What happens is that GDB reads bogus values for fields Num1 to
Num4, and deduces a bogus (ginormouos) size for component
"Field1".  The length is so large that it then later causes
an overflow in the overall record length computation. Things
go downhill from there, because length(field1) > length(record).
So, when after we've fetched the value of the record based on
the computed size, we crash trying to access unallocated memory
when accessing field1...

The first fix we can do is to check the size of the field
against the maximum object size.  If it exceeds that size,
then we know the record will also exceed that size...

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (ada_template_to_fixed_record_type_1):
        For dynamic fields, check the field size against the maximum
        object size.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
