Subject: [PATCHv4 6/6] gdb: ensure the cast in gdbarch_tdep is valid
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 15:28:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8fadee96195098aee85b81e7302549309f914cee.1656426157.git.aburgess@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1656426157.git.aburgess@redhat.com>
This commit makes use of gdb::checked_static_cast when casting the
generic gdbarch_tdep pointer to a specific sub-class type. This means
that, when compiled in developer mode, GDB will validate that the cast
is correct.
In order to use gdb::checked_static_cast the types involved must have
RTTI, which is why the gdbarch_tdep base class now has a virtual
destructor.
Assuming there are no bugs in GDB where we cast a gdbarch_tdep pointer
to the wrong type, then there should be no changes after this commit.
If any bugs do exist, then GDB will now assert (in a developer build).
