Avoid infinite recursion in get_msymbol_address
Sometimes, get_msymbol_address can cause infinite recursion, leading
to a crash. This was reported previously here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2019-November/162154.html
A user on irc reported this as well, and with his help and the help of
a friend of his, we found that the problem occurred because, when
reloading a separate debug objfile, the objfile would lose the
OBJF_MAINLINE flag. This would cause some symbols from this separate
debug objfile to be marked "maybe_copied" -- but then
get_msymbol_address could find the same symbol and fail as reported.
This patch fixes the bug by preserving OBJF_MAINLINE.
No test case, unfortunately, because I could not successfully make
one.
