Thanks.
Definitely works now, so I'm closing this.

[Bug c++/11648] gdb crashes with segmentation fault when printing larger objects

[sven dot anderson at snom dot com]

------- Additional Comments From sven dot anderson at snom dot com  2010-09-28 12:29 -------
Ok, in the end the test case is very simple. You just need a class with a couple
of static objects of its own. See gdb-crash.cpp.

How to reproduce:
$ g++ -g gdb-crash.cpp -o gdb-crash
$ ~/src/gdb-7.1.50.20100527/gdb/gdb gdb-crash
(gdb) b main
(gdb) r
(gdb) print global
q<return>
(gdb) print global
q<return>
(gdb) print global
-> segmentation fault
(see gdb-crash.txt for details)

My system is an up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04, 32bit, that is:

$ uname -a
Linux anderssv-lx-01 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux

and libc: 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2 (i686 optimized version)

Indeed, with 7.2 I cannot reproduce the crash. This is good news. But still I
will try to extract a test-case from our code.

Could you possibly try 7.2?
This area has been reworked a bit since 7.1.

Otherwise it is hard to see how to proceed without a test case.
Unfortunately the valgrind output didn't really help me diagnose the bug.

trace of gdb running in valgrind

This is a complete trace of a gdb session running in valgrind. Search for
"Invalid free()" at the end. Again you see it happens in obstack_free().

Backtrace of the segmentation fault when gdb is run gdb

This is a backtrace of the segmentation fault when I run the gdb inside of
another gdb session. As you can see the violation happens in obstack_free().

One thing that might be helpful is if you ran your gdb session under valgrind,
then reproduced the bug.  Be sure to have the gdb debuginfo available when
you do this.

Otherwise I think we will need a test case so we can reproduce the problem.

I noticed that sometimes, if glibc debugging informations are installed, a
backtrace is shown (see second attachment), but this is not so easy to reproduce.

Also sometimes I manage get the following error message instead of a
segmentation fault:
value.c:627: internal-error: value_free: Assertion `val->reference_count > 0'
failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected, [...]
