--- Comment #11 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Hi Tom, > On further reflection I think the patch as applied will > cause gdb crashes. Due to the historical oddity of how > the BFD's filename was handled, gdb chose to go its own > route and reallocate the filename on the BFD's objalloc. Hang on - are you saying that GDB alters the contents of the filename field inside the BFD structure ? If so, then surely the correct thing to do now is to remove that piece of code from GDB. > Also IIRC from when I looked into this, some of the binutils > also play games with the filename. I think a fuller audit > is needed. I ran as many checks as I could and visually inspected all of the code. I think that I found everywhere that the filename is touched. At least inside the binutils that is.
