the file that gdb dislikes
Any possibility of a reduced testcase? So far I have only seen it show up when trying to debug a large application. I can try and see if I can create a stripped down testcase, but I dont know how long that will take me. Created attachment 71684 [details]
Patch to GDB for corrupted cv type chains.
Created attachment 71685 [details]
A patch that makes GDB print a warning instead of creating corrupt type structures.
I've attached two patches that fixed a similar problem in the public GDB sources. Ill give these patches a try These patches seem to fix everything! Thanks! The function that produces the infinite loop (finish_cv_type) is no longet in the current gdb sources. The problem will be resolved in the next RedHat version of gdb. |
