This patch fixes an internal error that is triggered when loading the
same binary twice with the index-cache on:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory
(gdb) set index-cache on
(gdb) shell mktemp -d
/tmp/tmp.BLgouVoPq4
(gdb) set index-cache directory /tmp/tmp.BLgouVoPq4
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) file a.out
Load new symbol table from "a.out"? (y or n) y

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:2540: internal-error: void create_cus_from_index(dwarf2_per_bfd*, const gdb_byte*, offset_type, const gdb_byte*, offset_type): Assertion `per_bfd->all_comp_units.empty ()' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
This is what happens:
1. We load the binary the first time, partial symtabs are created,
per_bfd->all_comp_units is filled from those.
2. Because index-cache is on, we also generate an index in the cache.
3. We load the binary a second time, in dwarf2_initialize_objfile we
check: was an index already loaded for this BFD? No, so we try to
read the index and fill the per-bfd using it. We do find an index,
it's in the cache.
4. The function create_cus_from_index asserts (rightfully) that
per_cu->all_comp_units is empty, and the assertion fails.
This assertion verifies that we are not reading an index for a BFD for
which we have already built partial symtabs or read another index.
The index-cache gives a situation that isn't currently accounted for: a
BFD for which we have built the partial symtabs the first time, but has
an index the second time.
This patch addresses it by checking for the presence of partial symtabs
in dwarf2_initialize_objfile. If there are, we don't try reading the
index.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/read.c (dwarf2_initialize_objfile): Check for presence
of partial symtabs.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/index-cache-load-twice.c: New.
* gdb.base/index-cache-load-twice.exp: New.

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.
