[libc++abi] Fix possible infinite loop in itanium demangler
A libfuzzer run has discovered some inputs for which the demangler does
not terminate. When minimized, it looks like this: _Zcv1BIRT_EIS1_E
Deciphered:
_Z
cv - conversion operator
* result type
1B - "B"
I - template args begin
R - reference type <.
T_ - forward template reference | *
E - template args end | |
| |
* parameter type | |
I - template args begin | |
S1_ - substitution #1 * <'
E - template args end
The reason is: template-parameter refs in conversion operator result type
create forward-references, while substitutions are instantly resolved via
back-references. Together these can create a reference loop. It causes an
infinite loop in ReferenceType::collapse().
I see three possible ways to avoid these loops:
1. check if resolving a forward reference creates a loop and reject the
inval...
