Internal error trying to print uninitialized string. Trying to print the value of a string whose size is not known at compile-time before it gets assigned a value can lead to the following internal error: (gdb) p my_str $1 = /[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted. What happens is that my_str is described as a reference to an array type whose bounds are dynamic. During the read of that variable's value (in default_read_var_value), we end up resolving dynamic types which, for reference types, makes us also resolve the target of that reference type. This means we resolve our variable to a reference to an array whose bounds are undefined, and unfortunately very far appart. So, when we pass that value to ada-valprint, and in particular to da_val_print_ref, we eventually try to allocate too large of a buffer corresponding to the (bogus) size of our array, hence the internal error. This patch fixes the problem by adding a size_check before trying to print the dereferenced value. To perform this check, a function that was previously specific to ada-lang.c (check_size) gets exported, and renamed to something less prone to name collisions (ada_ensure_varsize_limit). gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.h (ada_ensure_varsize_limit): Declare. * ada-lang.c (check_size): Remove advance declaration. (ada_ensure_varsize_limit): Renames check_size. Replace calls to check_size by calls to ada_ensure_varsize_limit throughout. * ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_ref): Add call to ada_ensure_varsize_limit. Add comment explaining why. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/str_uninit: New testcase.
