Subject: [rfc patch] nomem: internal_error -> error |
|
|
|
Hi, |
|
|
|
unfortunately I see this problem reproducible only with the |
|
archer-jankratochvil-vla branch (VLA = Variable Length Arrays - char[var]). |
|
OTOH this branch I hopefully submit in some form for FSF GDB later. |
|
|
|
In this case (a general problem but tested for example on Fedora 13 i686): |
|
|
|
int |
|
main (int argc, char **argv) |
|
{ |
|
char a[argc]; |
|
return a[0]; |
|
} |
|
|
|
(gdb) start |
|
(gdb) print a |
|
../../gdb/utils.c:1251: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted: can't allocate 4294951689 bytes. |
|
|
|
It is apparently because boundary for the variable `a' is not initialized |
|
there. Users notice it due to Eclipse-CDT trying to automatically display all |
|
the local variables on each step. |
|
|
|
|
|
Apparentl no regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora13-linux-gnu. |
|
But is anone aware of the reasons to use internal_error there? |
|
I find simple error as a perfectly reasonable there. |
|
(history only tracks it since the initial import) |
|
|
|
IIRC this idea has been discussed with Tom Tromey, not sure of its origin. |
|
|
|
I understand it may be offtopic for FSF GDB but from some GDB crashes I am not |
|
sure if it can happen only due to the VLA variables. |
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks, |
|
