Remove cleanups from mdebugread.c
the following change was made in the function parse_partial_symbols in
mdebugread.c:
- fdr_to_pst = XCNEWVEC (struct pst_map, hdr->ifdMax + 1);
- old_chain = make_cleanup (xfree, fdr_to_pst);
+ gdb::def_vector<struct pst_map> fdr_to_pst_holder (hdr->ifdMax + 1);
+ fdr_to_pst = fdr_to_pst_holder.data ();
The problem with this change is that XCNEWVEC calls xcalloc, which in
turn calls calloc, and calloc zero initializes the allocated memory.
In contrast, the new line gdb::def_vector<struct pst_map> specifically
does not initialize the underlying memory.
This is a problem because, later on in this same function, we
increment the n_globals field within 'struct pst_map' objects stored
in the vector. The incrementing is now being done from an
uninitialized starting point.
In this commit we switch from using gdb::def_vector to using
std::vector, this alone should be enough to ensure that the fields are
initialized to zero.
However, for extra clarity, I have also added initial values in the
'struct pst_map' to make it crystal clear how the struct will start
up.

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.
