Allow BFD to recognize macOS universal libraries
Bug #13157 is about a gdb regression, where previously it could handle
universal libraries, but now cannot.
gdb isn't working for me on macOS for other reasons, so I wrote this
small test program to show the problem:
#include <config.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <bfd.h>
void
die (const char *what)
{
fprintf (stderr, "die: %s\n", what);
exit (1);
}
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
bfd *file = bfd_openr (argv[1], NULL);
if (file == NULL)
die ("couldn't open");
if (!bfd_check_format (file, bfd_archive))
die ("not an archive");
printf ("yay\n");
bfd_close (file);
return 0;
}
Then I built a simple universal binary. With git master BFD, I get:
$ ./doit ./universal-exe
die: not an archive
Jeff Muizelaar tracked this down to the BFD change for PR binutils/21787.
This patch changed bfd_generic_archive_p to sometimes reset the BFD's
"format" field.
However, simply changing bfd_generic_archive_p regressed the test case
in that bug.
Debugging PR binutils/21787 again, what I saw is that the mach-o
universal binary support acts like a bfd_archive but does not provide
a _close_and_cleanup function. However, if a BFD appears as an
archive member, it must always remove its own entry from its parent's
map. Otherwise, when the parent is destroyed, the already-destroyed
child BFD will be referenced. mach-o does not use the usual archive
member support, so simply using _bfd_archive_close_and_cleanup (as
other targets do) will not work.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new
_bfd_unlink_from_archive_parent function, then arranging for it to be
called in the mach-o case.
Ok?
