Comment 1 mikhail.v.gavrilov 2018-10-13 18:31:01 UTC
Trying debugging core file of gdb produce new crash of gdb which try debug core file of gdb. This is a recursion!!!
If I remove debuginfo files of gdb then gdb able opens core of gdb file successfully, but without debuginfo it is useless.

This patch doesn't fix this issue.  This bug is a different problem.
Comment 4 Sourceware Commits 2019-01-16 19:38:49 UTC
The master branch has been updated by Keith Seitz <kseitz@sourceware.org>:

    Introduce dwarf2_cu::get_builder
    
    This patch is an attempt to deal with a variety of bugs reported where
    GDB segfaults attempting to access a dwarf2_cu's builder.  In certain
    circumstances, this builder can be NULL.  This is especially common
    when inheriting DIEs via inlined subroutines in other CUs.  The test
    case demonstrates one such situation reported by users.  See gdb/23773,
    rhbz1638798, and dups for other concrete examples.
    
    The approach taken here is to save the ancestor CU into the dwarf2_cu of
    all CUs with DIEs that are "imported."  This can happen whenever
    follow_die_offset and friends are called.  This essentially introduces a
    chain of CUs that caused the importation of a DIE from a CU.  Whenever
    a builder is requested of a CU that has none, the ancestors are searched
    for the first one with a builder.
    
    A design side effect of this is that the builder can now only be
    accessed by getter and setter methods because the builder itself
    is private.
    
    The bulk of the patch is relatively mindless text conversion from
    "cu->builder" to "cu->get_builder ()".  I've included one test which
    was derived from one (of the many) bugs reported on the issue in both
    sourceware and Fedora bugzillas.

Certainly seems like this was fixed a long time ago. Thank you for bringing
this to my attention!
