After compiling a program which uses C++ references some optimizations may convert the references into synthetic "pointers". Trying to print the address of one of such synthetic references causes gdb to crash with the following error: (gdb) print &ref /build/buildd/gdb-7.7.1/gdb/dwarf2loc.c:1624: internal-error: Should not be able to create a lazy value with an enclosing type A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Apparently, what was causing it was that value_addr returns a copy of the value that represents the reference with its type set to T* instead of T&. However, its enclosing_type is left untouched, which fails a check made in read_pieced_value. We only see the crash happen for references that are synthetic because they're treated as pieced values, thus the call to read_pieced_value. On a related note, it seems that in general there are all sorts of breakage when working with synthetic references. This is reported here: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19893 gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-04-18 Martin Galvan <martin.galvan@tallertechnologies.com> * valops.c (value_addr): For C++ references, set the copied value's enclosing_type as well. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-04-18 Martin Galvan <martin.galvan@tallertechnologies.com> * gdb.dwarf2/implref.exp: New file.
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.
