[PATCH] libobjc: Properly handle classes without instance variables in class_copyIvarList ().

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1230 bytes --]

Hello,

The attached patch fixes an issue reported a couple of years ago in Bug 
51891 (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51891).  The problem 
is caused because classes without instance variables have no ivar list 
at all, so that their ivars pointer is NULL, but the code in 
class_copyIvarList () is unaware of this.

That this is in fact so can be easily verified by checking the code of 
class_addIvar in the same source file, where the ivars list is allocated 
when the first ivar is added.  The code there also checks for a NULL 
ivars pointer.

The patch also adds a simple test-case for this issue.  I think that the 
ChangeLog entry should be something along the lines of:

    2014-12-24  Dimitris Papavasiliou  <dpapavas@gmail.com>

          PR libobjc/51891
          * libobjc/ivars.c: Add a check for classes without instance
	variables, which have a NULL ivar list pointer.
          * gcc/testsuite/objc.dg/gnu-api-2-class.m: Add a test case
	for the above change.

I hope I got the formatting right.  I've run make -k check-objc and all 
tests pass without problems.

Let me know if there are any problems, or if I can do anything else to 
facilitate the acceptance of the patch.

Regards,
Dimitris

So, Andrew is the reviewer for libobjc.  I’m not.  I don’t have any issue with it.

Andrew?

Do you want to be a reviewer for libobjc?  I don't think the load there 
is high, but having someone else who cares about the code is always a 
good thing.

I am a reviewer for libobjc, I had missed this patch when it came in
due to the low traffic of libobjc patches and working on other
projects at the time.  I had marked as something I needed to review
but I did not get around to it until now.

Thanks,
Andrew

I think things are fine as is.  If things were pinged and there were no response, or if someone wanted to do major updated on the library to bring it up a decade, then we might want to change things.  If someone wanted to do a major update, then, I’d recommend they step forward.
