Description Josh Stone 2023-03-31 18:04:17 UTC
Description of problem:
GDB sometimes hits an internal-error while debugging Rust programs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdb-13.1-1.fc37.x86_64
cargo-1.68.2-1.fc37.x86_64
rust-1.68.2-1.fc37.x86_64

How reproducible:
fully

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cargo new hello; cd hello
2. edit src/main.rs to the following:

fn main() {
    std::thread::scope(|s| {
        s.spawn(|| {
            println!("Hello, world!");
            std::process::abort();
        });
    });
}

3. cargo build
4. gdb -ex run -ex bt target/debug/hello

Actual results:

(gdb) bt
../../gdb/frame.c:2457: internal-error: inside_main_func: Assertion `block != nullptr' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

Expected results:
No internal-error :)

Additional info:
It works if I downgrade to gdb-12.1-4.fc37.x86_64

There is already an upstream fix queued for 13.2:
