- Subject: [PATCH] Readline bug causes GDB crash on 64-bit
Hello,
GDB on s390x (64-bit) is crashing when you press ctrl-V.
This is because xmalloc is used without prototype in scope
in _rl_callback_data_alloc (readline/callback.c), and thus
the returned pointer is improperly truncated/extended.
Fixed by including "xmalloc.h". Tested on s390x-ibm-linux.
What's the policy for readline bugs in GDB? It is OK to check
this patch into GDB, or does it have to go upstream first?
(Where is readline upstream?)
Bye,
Ulrich
ChangeLog:
* callback.c: Include "xmalloc.h".
* Makefile.in: Add dependency.
