gdb: change type of `general_symbol_info::m_section` to int
The binary provided with bug 32165 [1] has 36139 ELF sections. GDB
crashes on it with (note that my GDB is build with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory ./vmlinux
Reading symbols from ./vmlinux...
(No debugging symbols found in ./vmlinux)

Objects involved in the operation:

That is, at this line of `minimal_symbol::value_address`, where
`objfile->section_offsets` is an `std::vector`:
return (CORE_ADDR (this->unrelocated_address ())
+ objfile->section_offsets[this->section_index ()]);
A section index of -29445 is suspicious. The minimal_symbol at play
here is:
(top-gdb) p m_name
$1 = 0x521001de10af "_sinittext"
So I restarted debugging, breaking on:
(top-gdb) b general_symbol_info::set_section_index if $_streq("_sinittext", m_name)
And I see that weird -29445 value:
(top-gdb) frame
#0 general_symbol_info::set_section_index (this=0x525000082390, idx=-29445) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.h:611
611 { m_section = idx; }
But going up one frame, the section index is 36091:
(top-gdb) frame
#1 0x0000555562426526 in minimal_symbol_reader::record_full (this=0x7ffff0ead560, name="_sinittext", copy_name=false,
address=-2111475712, ms_type=mst_text, section=36091) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/minsyms.c:1228
1228 msymbol->set_section_index (section);
It seems like the problem is just that the type used for the section
index (short) is not big enough. Change from short to int. If somebody
insists, we could even go long long / int64_t, but I doubt it's
necessary.
With that fixed, I get:
