objdump example:
$v+
binutils/objdump -a -b vms-alpha ./testfile
binutils/.libs/objdump: ./testfile: File format not recognized
Segmentation fault
$v-
(the easiest testfile is some text file)
backtrace:
#0 0x00002b9c3e820540 in vms_close_and_cleanup (abfd=0x7c0ff0) at vms.c:434
#1 0x00002b9c3e573d91 in bfd_close (abfd=0x7c0ff0) at opncls.c:657
(gdb) print abfd->xvec->name
$5 = 0x2b9c3e8859c9 "vms-alpha"
(gdb) print abfd->tdata.any
$6 = (void *) 0x0
(gdb) print abfd->format
$7 = bfd_unknown
the easiest fixup IMO is in vms_close_and_cleanup() add check:
if (abfd->tdata.any == NULL) return TRUE;
I think we could also patch bfd_close() to check
if (bfd_get_format(abfd) == bfd_unknown) return TRUE;
