When debugging a program compiled with an older version of GNAT,
hitting a catchpoint on unhandled exceptions can caused GDB to
got into an infinite loop. This happens while trying to find
the name of the exception that was raised. For that, it searches
for a frame corresponding to a specific function we know gets
called during the exeption handling.
In our particular case, the compiler was too old, and so GDB never
found that frame, and eventually got past the "main" subprogram,
all the way to system frames, where no symbol was available.
As a result, the code addresses could not be resolved into
a function name, leading to the infinite loop because of
a misplaced update of our loop variable "fi":
while (fi != NULL)
{
char *func_name;
enum language func_lang;
find_frame_funname (fi, &func_name, &func_lang, NULL);
if (func_name != NULL)
{
make_cleanup (xfree, func_name);
if (strcmp (func_name,
data->exception_info->catch_exception_sym) == 0)
break; /* We found the frame we were looking for... */
fi = get_prev_frame (fi);
}
}
If FUNC_NAME is NULL, then FI never gets updated ever after!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unhandled_exception_name_addr_from_raise):
Move update of loop variable "fi".
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
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.
