Source: binutils-gdb.git MR: 76524 Type: Security Fix Disposition: Backport from binutils master ChangeID: 5f22a66eabb228b655605b964ecd350aee700806 Description: PR22187, infinite loop in find_abstract_instance_name This patch prevents the simple case of infinite recursion in find_abstract_instance_name by ensuring that the attributes being processed are not the same as the previous call. The patch also does a little cleanup, and leaves in place some changes to the nested_funcs array that I made when I wrongly thought looping might occur in scan_unit_for_symbols. PR 22187 * dwarf2.c (find_abstract_instance_name): Add orig_info_ptr and pname param. Return status. Make name const. Don't abort, return an error. Formatting. Exit if current info_ptr matches orig_info_ptr. Update callers. (scan_unit_for_symbols): Start at nesting_level of zero. Make nested_funcs an array of structs for extensibility. Formatting.
