Dandling memory pointers in Ada catchpoints with GDB/MI.
When using the GDB/MI commands to insert a catchpoint on a specific Ada exception, any re-evaluation of that catchpoint (for instance a re-evaluation performed after a shared library got mapped by the inferior) fails. For instance, with any Ada program: (gdb) -catch-exception -e program_error ^done,bkptno="1",bkpt={[...]} (gdb) -exec-run =thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="28315" =thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1" ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) =library-loaded,[...] &"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n" &"warning: failed to reevaluate internal exception condition for catchpoint 1: No definition of \"exec\" in current context.\n" [...] The same is true if using an Ada exception catchpoint. The problem comes from the fact that that we deallocate the strings given as arguments to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while the latter just makes shallow copies of those strings, thus creating dandling pointers. This patch fixes the issue by passing freshly allocated strings to create_ada_exception_catchpoint, while at the same time updating create_ada_exception_catchpoint's documentation to make it clear that deallocating the strings is no longer the responsibility of the caller. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (create_ada_exception_catchpoint): Enhance the documentation of fields "except_string" and "condition". * mi/mi-cmd-catch.c (mi_cmd_catch_assert): Reallocate CONDITION on the heap before passing it to create_ada_exception_catchpoint. (mi_cmd_catch_exception): Likewise for EXCEPTION_NAME and CONDITION. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.ada/mi_ex_cond: New testcase. Tested on x86_64-linux. The "-break-list" test FAILs without this patch.
