Joel Brobecker fc958966e4 GDB crash trying to subscript array of variant record.
Consider the following declarations:

   subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
   type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
      S : String (1 .. I);
   end record;
   A2 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 2, S => "AB"),
                       2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
                       3 => (I => 0, S => <>));

Compiled with -fgnat-encodings=minimal, and trying to print
one element of our array, valgrind reports an invalid memory
access. On certain GNU/Linux boxes, malloc even reports it as
well, and causes GDB to crash.

    (gdb) print a2(1)
     *** glibc detected *** /[...]/gdb:
         malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a30ba48 ***
    [crash]

The invalid memory access occurs because of a simple buffer
overflow in ada_value_primitive_packed_val. When this function
is called, it is given a bit_size of 128 (or 16 bytes), which
corresponds to the stride of our array. But the actual size of
each element depends on its value. In particular, A2(1) is a record
whose size is only 6 bytes.

What happens in our example is that we start building a new value
(v) where the element is to be unpacked, with any of its dynamic
properties getting resolved as well. We then unpack the data into
this value's buffer:

  unpacked = (unsigned char *) value_contents (v);
  [...]
  nsrc = len;
  [...]
  while (nsrc > 0)
    {
      [...]
          unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
          [...]
          targ += delta;
      [...]
      nsrc -= 1;
      [...]
    }

In the loop above, targ starts at zero (for LE architectures),
and len is 16. With delta being +1, we end up iterating 16 times,
writing 16 bytes into a 6-bytes buffer.

This patch fixes the issue by adjusting BIT_SIZE and recomputing
LEN after having resolved our type if the resolved type turns out
to be smaller than bit_size.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Recompute
        BIT_SIZE and LEN if the size of the resolved type is smaller
        than BIT_SIZE * HOST_CHAR_BIT.

		   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

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
