GDB SEGV while trying to print uninitialize variant record
We have a variant record whose value is defined as follow: type Discriminant_Record (Num1, Num2, Num3, Num4 : Natural) is record Field1 : My_Record_Array (1 .. Num2); Field2 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. 10); Field3 : My_Record_Array (Num1 .. Num2); Field4 : My_Record_Array (Num3 .. Num2); Field5 : My_Record_Array (Num4 .. Num2); end record; Dire : Discriminant_Record (1, 7, 3, 0); However, we're trying to print "Dire" before it is elaborated. This is common if one breaks on a function and then starts doing "info locals" for instance. What happens is that GDB reads bogus values for fields Num1 to Num4, and deduces a bogus (ginormouos) size for component "Field1". The length is so large that it then later causes an overflow in the overall record length computation. Things go downhill from there, because length(field1) > length(record). So, when after we've fetched the value of the record based on the computed size, we crash trying to access unallocated memory when accessing field1... The first fix we can do is to check the size of the field against the maximum object size. If it exceeds that size, then we know the record will also exceed that size... gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (ada_template_to_fixed_record_type_1): For dynamic fields, check the field size against the maximum object size.
