Consider a function with the following signature...
function F (R : out Rec_Type) return Enum_Type;
... where Rec_Type is a simple record:
type Rec_Type is record
Cur : Integer;
end record;
Trying to "finish" from that function causes GDB to SEGV:
(gdb) fin
Run till exit from #0 bar.f (r=...) at bar.adb:5
0x00000000004022fe in foo () at foo.adb:5
5 I : Enum_Type := F (R);
[1] 18949 segmentation fault (core dumped) /[..]/gdb
This is related to the fact that funtion F has a parameter (R)
which is an "out" parameter being passed by copy. For those,
GNAT transforms the return value to be a record with multiple
fields: The first one is called "RETVAL" and contains the return
value shown in the source, and the remaining fields have the same
name as the "out" or "in out" parameters which are passed by copy.
So, in the example above, function F returns a struct that has
one field who name is "r".
Because "RETVAL" starts with "R", GDB thinks it's a wrapper field,
because it looks like the encoding used for variant records:
-- member_name ::= {choice} | others_choice
-- choice ::= simple_choice | range_choice
-- simple_choice ::= S number
-- range_choice ::= R number T number <<<<<----- here
-- number ::= {decimal_digit} [m]
-- others_choice ::= O (upper case letter O)
See ada_is_wrapper_field:
return (name != NULL
&& (startswith (name, "PARENT")
|| strcmp (name, "REP") == 0
|| startswith (name, "_parent")
|| name[0] == 'S' || name[0] == 'R' || name[0] == 'O'));
As a result of this, when trying to print the RETURN value,
we think that RETVAL is a wrapper, and thus recurse into
print_field_values...
if (ada_is_wrapper_field (type, i))
{
comma_needed =
print_field_values (TYPE_FIELD_TYPE (type, i),
valaddr,
(offset
+ TYPE_FIELD_BITPOS (type, i) / HOST_CHAR_BIT),
stream, recurse, val, options,
comma_needed, type, offset, language);
... which is a problem since print_field_values assumes that
the type it is given ("TYPE_FIELD_TYPE (type, i)" here), is also
a record type. However, that's not the case, since RETVAL is
an enum. That eventually leads GDB to a NULL type when trying to
extract fields out of the enum, which then leads to a SEGV when
trying to dereference it.
Ideally, we'd want to be a little more careful in identifying
wrapper fields, by enhancing ada_is_wrapper_field to be a little
more complete in its analysis of the field name before declaring
it a variant record wrapper. However, it's not super easy to do
so, considering that the choices can be combined together when
complex choices are used. Eg:
-- [...] the choice 1 .. 4 | 7 | -10 would be represented by
-- R1T4S7S10m
Given that we are working towards getting rid of GNAT encodings,
which means that the above will eventually disappear, we took
the more pragmatic approach is just treating RETVAL as a special
case.
