During debugging of PR26362, it was noticed that the malloc size check in check_type_length_before_alloc wasn't detecting an allocation attempt of a huge amount of bytes, making GDB run into an internal error. This happens because we're using an int to store a type's length. When the type length is large enough, the int will overflow and the max_value_size check won't work anymore. The following patch fixes this by making the length variable a ULONGEST. Printing statements were also updated to show the correct number of bytes. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-08-12 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * value.c (check_type_length_before_alloc): Use ULONGEST to store a type's length. Use %s and pulongest to print the length.
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.
