Dandling memory pointers in Ada catchpoints with GDB/MI.
When using the GDB/MI commands to insert a catchpoint on a specific
Ada exception, any re-evaluation of that catchpoint (for instance
a re-evaluation performed after a shared library got mapped by the
inferior) fails. For instance, with any Ada program:
(gdb)
-catch-exception -e program_error
^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={[...]}
(gdb)
-exec-run
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="28315"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
=library-loaded,[...]
&"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n"
&"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n"
[...]
The same is true if using an Ada exception catchpoint.
The problem comes from the fact that that we deallocate the strings
given as arguments to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while the latter
just makes shallow copies of those strings, thus creating dandling
pointers.
This patch fixes the issue by passing freshly allocated strings to
create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while at the same time updating
create_ada_exception_catchpoint's documentation to make it clear
that deallocating the strings is no longer the responsibility of
the caller.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (create_ada_exception_catchpoint): Enhance
the documentation of fields "except_string" and "condition".
* mi/mi-cmd-catch.c (mi_cmd_catch_assert): Reallocate
CONDITION on the heap before passing it to
create_ada_exception_catchpoint.
(mi_cmd_catch_exception): Likewise for EXCEPTION_NAME and
CONDITION.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux. The "-break-list" test FAILs without
this patch.
