Fix PR backtrace/15558
This PR is about an assertion failure in GDB that can be triggered by
setting "backtrace limit" to a value that causes GDB to stop unwinding
after an inline frame. In this case, an assertion in
inline_frame_this_id will trigger:
/* We need a valid frame ID, so we need to be based on a valid
frame. (...). */
gdb_assert (frame_id_p (*this_id));
Looking at the function:
static void
inline_frame_this_id (struct frame_info *this_frame,
void **this_cache,
struct frame_id *this_id)
{
struct symbol *func;
/* In order to have a stable frame ID for a given inline function,
we must get the stack / special addresses from the underlying
real frame's this_id method. So we must call get_prev_frame.
Because we are inlined into some function, there must be previous
frames, so this is safe - as long as we're careful not to
create any cycles. */
*this_id = get_frame_id (get_prev_frame (this_frame));
we see we're computing the frame id for the inline frame. If this is
an inline frame, which is a virtual frame constructed based on debug
info, on top of a real stack frame, we should _always_ be able to find
where the frame was inlined into, as that ultimately just means
peeling off the virtual frames on top of the real stack frame. If
there ultimately was no prev (real) stack frame, then we wouldn't have
been able to construct the inline frame either, by design. That's
what the assertion catches.
So we have an inline frame, we should _always_ be able to compute its
ID, even if that means bypassing the user backtrace limits to get at
the real stack frame's info. The problem is that inline_frame_id
calls get_prev_frame, and that takes user backtrace limits into
account. Code that wants to bypass the limits calls get_prev_frame_1
instead.
Note how get_prev_frame_1 already skips all checks for inline frames:
/* If we are unwinding from an inline frame, all of the below tests
were already performed when we unwound from the next non-inline
frame. We must skip them, since we can not get THIS_FRAME's ID
until we have unwound all the way down to the previous non-inline
frame. */
if (get_frame_type (this_frame) == INLINE_FRAME)
return get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle (this_frame);
And note how the related frame_unwind_caller_id function also uses
get_prev_frame_1:
struct frame_id
frame_unwind_caller_id (struct frame_info *next_frame)
{
struct frame_info *this_frame;
/* Use get_prev_frame_1, and not get_prev_frame. The latter will truncate
the frame chain, leading to this function unintentionally
returning a null_frame_id (e.g., when a caller requests the frame
ID of "main()"s caller. */
next_frame = skip_artificial_frames (next_frame);
this_frame = get_prev_frame_1 (next_frame);
if (this_frame)
return get_frame_id (skip_artificial_frames (this_frame));
else
return null_frame_id;
}
get_prev_frame_1 is currently static in frame.c. As a _1 suffix is
not a good name for an extern function, I've renamed it.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 17.
