gdb: Guard against NULL dereference in dwarf2_init_integer_type
In this commit: commit eb77c9df9f6d2f7aa644a170280fe31ce080f887 Date: Thu Oct 18 14:04:27 2018 +0100 gdb: Handle ICC's unexpected void return type A potential dereference of a NULL pointer was introduced if a DW_TAG_base_type is missing a DW_AT_name attribute. I have taken this opportunity to fix a slight confusion that existed in the test also added in the above commit, the test had two C variables, declared like this: int var_a = 5; void *var_ptr = &var_a; However, the fake DWARF in the test script declared them like this: void var_a = 5; void *var_ptr = &var_a; This wasn't a problem as the test never uses 'var_a' directly, this only exists so 'var_ptr' can be initialised. However, it seemed worth fixing. I've also added a test for a DW_TAG_base_type with a missing DW_AT_name, as clearly there's not test currently that covers this (the original patch tested cleanly). I can confirm that the new test causes GDB to crash before this patch, and passes with this patch. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_init_integer_type): Check for name being NULL before dereferencing it. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.dwarf2/void-type.exp: Rename types, and make var_a an 'int'. * gdb.dwarf2/missing-type-name.exp: New file.
