            Bug ID: 29449
           Summary: Crash on load when there's no shared library support
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: research_trasio at irq dot a4lg.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Commit: master (99c902690493e35aad16b2083bad34cf79c366bf)
Target (Reproduced):
-   x86_64-unknown-elf
-   riscv64-unknown-elf
Target (NOT Reproduced):
-   x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
-   riscv64-linux-gnu

When a target file (possibly with symbols?) is loaded, GDB crashes.

Excerpts from GDB is as follows (I used `gdb --batch -x a.txt' to reproduce the
bug quickly but it's just a file command):

Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I bisected and found that commit cb275538dbddfbb3c2c372a665ac48e6f617ea33 is
the cause of this bug.

I think this crash happens when there's no shared library support (where
default solib data must be used and no one calls the set_solib_ops function). 
The same commit with x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and riscv64-linux-gnu targets
were fine.
For such cases, current_target_so_ops should be used but... this is not used
anywhere, causing NULL target_so_ops to be used.

The only reason I haven't submitted the patch to fix this bug is because I
haven't completed the copyright assignment for my GDB contribution.
I think I shared enough information to reproduce and fix this bug but tell me
if not.
