[Bug libdw/21330] New: dwarf_peel_type() loops infinitely for typedef const struct ...


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21330

            Bug ID: 21330
           Summary: dwarf_peel_type() loops infinitely for typedef const
                    struct ...
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libdw
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: kubo at jiubao dot org
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

When a type is defined as "typedef const struct foo foo_t", dwarf_peel_type()
for foo_t loops infinitely.

  38 int
  39 dwarf_peel_type (Dwarf_Die *die, Dwarf_Die *result)
  40 {
  41   int tag;
  42 
  43   /* Ignore previous errors.  */
  44   if (die == NULL)
  45     return -1;
  46 
  47   *result = *die;
  48   tag = INTUSE (dwarf_tag) (result);
  49   while (tag == DW_TAG_typedef
  50          || tag == DW_TAG_const_type
  51          || tag == DW_TAG_volatile_type
  52          || tag == DW_TAG_restrict_type
  53          || tag == DW_TAG_atomic_type)
  54     {
  55       Dwarf_Attribute attr_mem;
  56       Dwarf_Attribute *attr = INTUSE (dwarf_attr_integrate) (die,
DW_AT_type,
  57                                                              &attr_mem);
  58       if (attr == NULL)
  59         return 1;
  60 
  61       if (INTUSE (dwarf_formref_die) (attr, result) == NULL)
  62         return -1;
  63 
  64       tag = INTUSE (dwarf_tag) (result);
  65     }
  ...

dwarf_tag() at line 48 returns DW_TAG_typedef.
dwarf_attr_integrate() and dwarf_formref_die() sets DW_AT_type of die to
result.
dwarf_tag() at line 64 returns DW_TAG_const.
dwarf_attr_integrate() and dwarf_formref_die() sets same value to result
because the first argument of dwarf_attr_integrate() is unchanged.
dwarf_tag() at line 64 returns same value forever.
