[gdb/symtab] Fix infinite recursion in dwarf2_cu::get_builder()
With the test-case attached in PR26327, gdb aborts: ... $ gdb -q -batch 447.dealII -ex "b main" Aborted (core dumped) ... when running out of stack due to infinite recursion: ... #8 0x00000000006aaba6 in dwarf2_cu::get_builder (this=0x35e4b40) at src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:700 #9 0x00000000006aaba6 in dwarf2_cu::get_builder (this=0x22ee2c0) at src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:700 #10 0x00000000006aaba6 in dwarf2_cu::get_builder (this=0x35e4b40) at src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:700 #11 0x00000000006aaba6 in dwarf2_cu::get_builder (this=0x22ee2c0) at src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:700 ... We're recursing in this code in dwarf2_cu::get_builder(): ... /* Otherwise, search ancestors for a valid builder. */ if (ancestor != nullptr) return ancestor->get_builder (); ... due to the fact that the ancestor chain is a cycle. Higher up in the call stack, we find some code that is responsible for triggering this, in new_symbol: ... case DW_TAG_formal_parameter: { /* If we are inside a function, mark this as an argument. If not, we might be looking at an argument to an inlined function when we do not have enough information to show inlined frames; pretend it's a local variable in that case so that the user can still see it. */ struct context_stack *curr = cu->get_builder ()->get_current_context_stack (); if (curr != nullptr && curr->name != nullptr) SYMBOL_IS_ARGUMENT (sym) = 1; ... This is code that was added to support pre-4.1 gcc, to be able to show arguments of inlined functions as locals, in the absense of sufficiently correct debug information. Removing this code (that is, doing SYMBOL_IS_ARGUMENT (sym) = 1 unconditially), fixes the crash. The ancestor variable also seems to have been added specifically to deal with fallout from this code, so remove that as well. Tested on x86_64-linux: - openSUSE Leap 15.2 with gcc 7.5.0, and - openSUSE Tumbleweed with gcc 10.3.0. gdb/ChangeLog: 2021-05-07 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR symtab/26327 * dwarf2/read.c (struct dwarf2_cu): Remove ancestor.
