If a char * global was initialized with a rvalue from `gcc_jit_context_new_string_literal` containing a format string, dumping the context causes libgccjit to SIGSEGV due to an improperly constructed call to vasprintf. The following code snippet can reproduce the crash: int main(int argc, char **argv) { gcc_jit_context *ctxt = gcc_jit_context_acquire (); gcc_jit_lvalue *var = gcc_jit_context_new_global( ctxt, NULL, GCC_JIT_GLOBAL_EXPORTED, gcc_jit_context_get_type(ctxt, GCC_JIT_TYPE_CONST_CHAR_PTR), "var"); gcc_jit_global_set_initializer_rvalue( var, gcc_jit_context_new_string_literal(ctxt, "%s")); gcc_jit_context_dump_to_file (ctxt, "output", 0); return 0; } The offending line is jit-recording.cc:4922, where a call to d.write passes the initializer rvalue's debug string to `write` without a format specifier. The attached patch fixes this issue. Thanks, Vibhav -- Vibhav Pant vibhavp@gmail.com GPG: 7ED1 D48C 513C A024 BE3A 785F E3FB 28CB 6AB5 9598
