- Subject: [PUSHED] Avoid indexing std::vector past the end
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
The code here wants to find address of an element, and often this
element is one past the end of std::vector. Dereferencing that element
leads to undefined behavior, so it's better to simply use pointer
arithmetic instead of taking address of invalid dereference.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* psymtab.c (recursively_search_psymtabs): Use pointer arithmetic
instead of dereferencing std::vector past the end.
