The next patch adds getters to the `dynamic_prop` structure. These
getters validate that the accessed data matches the property kind (for
example, to access the `const_val` field, the property must be of kind
`PROP_CONST`). It found one instance where we are accessing the
`const_val` data of a property that has the undefined kind.
This happens in function `get_discrete_bounds`, and is exposed by test
gdb.base/ptype.exp, amongst others. Without this patch, we would get:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/ptype/ptype -ex "ptype t_char_array"

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

The `get_discrete_bounds` function returns the bounds of a type (not
only range types). For range types, it naturally uses the bound
properties that are intrinsic to the range type. It accesses these
properties using TYPE_LOW_BOUND and TYPE_HIGH_BOUND, which assume the
properties are defined and have constant values. This is sometimes not
the case, and the passed range type (as in the example above) has an
undefined high/upper bound.
Given its current interface (returning two LONGEST values for low and
high), `get_discrete_bounds` can't really work if the range type's
bounds are not both defined and both constant values.
This patch changes the function to return -1 (failure to get the bounds)
if any of the range type's bounds is not a constant value. It is
sufficient to fix the issue and it seems to keep the callers happy, at
least according to the testsuite.
A bit in `get_array_bounds` could be removed, since
`get_discrete_bounds` no longer returns 1 if a bound is undefined.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (get_discrete_bounds): Return failure if
the range type's bounds are not both defined and constant
values.
(get_array_bounds): Update comment. Remove undefined bound check.

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.
