[PATCH] gdb: Handle ICC's unexpected void return type


I encountered a binary compiled with Intel's C Compiler version
14.0.5.212, which seemed to contain some non-standard DWARF.

The DWARF spec (V5 3.3.2) says:

    Debugging information entries for C void functions should not have
    an attribute for the return type.

However, what I observed in the DWARF from this ICC compiled binary
was this:

    ...
    <0><857>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
       <858>   DW_AT_comp_dir    : (indirect string, offset: 0x48d): /tmp/
       <85c>   DW_AT_language    : 1       (ANSI C)
       <85d>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x77c): filename.c
       <861>   DW_AT_producer    : (indirect string, offset: 0x520): Intel(R) C Intel(R) 64 Compiler ...
       <865>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x4378d0
       <86d>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 0x4378f0
       <875>   DW_AT_stmt_list   : 0xa37
    ...
    <1><7ea>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
       <7eb>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 0
       <7ec>   DW_AT_encoding    : 5       (signed)
       <7ed>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x58f): void
    ...
    <1><7f1>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
       <7f2>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 268
       <7f4>   DW_AT_decl_column : 30
       <7f5>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
       <7f6>   DW_AT_type        : <0x7ea>
       <7fa>   DW_AT_prototyped  : 1
       <7fb>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x761): function_foo
       <7ff>   DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x761): function_foo
       <803>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x4378a0
       <80b>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 0x4378d0
       <813>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    ...

So function 'function_foo' has void return type, but still has a
DW_AT_type attribute for a 0 sized, type called void.

What was found was that when the 'finish' command was used to leave
'function_foo', GDB would crash.

The problem is that in infcmd.c:print_return_value GDB tries to filter
out void return types, by looking for the TYPE_CODE_VOID, this fails
for the 'void' type as it has code TYPE_CODE_INT and GDB then tries to
print the 'void' type.

This eventually ends in a call to valprint.c:maybe_negate_by_bytes,
however, the len (length) of the value being negated is 0, which is
not detected or expected by this code, and invalid memory accesses
occur, some of which might cause GDB to crash.

The above DWARF was seen on version 14.0.5.212 of Intel's C compliler.
I don't have access to any other versions in order to see when this
issue might have appeared, or if it has been fixed.

In this patch I have added an assertion to maybe_negate_by_bytes.
This is nothing to do with the actual fix, but should detect incorrect
use of this function in the future, without relying on undefined
behaviour to crash GDB.

We already have a predicate in the DWARF parser to detect versions of
ICC prior to 14, however, this issue was spotted on a later veresion.
As a result I've added a new predicate that is true for any version of
ICC.

Using the new predicate I convert synthetic void types into GDB's
precreated void type.

A test confirms that the issue is fixed.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2read.c (struct dwarf2_cu): Add producer_is_icc field.
	(producer_is_icc): New function.
	(check_producer): Set producer_is_icc field on dwarf2_cu.
	(read_base_type): Spot ICC's unexpected void type, and convert to
	GDB's expected void type.
	(dwarf2_cu::dwarf2_cu): Initialise producer_is_icc field.
	* valprint.c (maybe_negate_by_bytes): Add an assertion that the
	LEN is greater than 0.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.dwarf2/void-return-type.c: New file.
	* gdb.dwarf2/void-return-type.exp: New file.
