I debugged and found that in the loop of nm.c:983, when j increased to 44, a null pointer dereference is triggered because though it checks r->sym_ptr_ptr is not null, *r->sym_ptr_ptr is a null pointer. nm.c:989 accesses *r->sym_ptr_ptr->section which causes the program to crash. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000403b55 in print_symbol (abfd=abfd@entry=0x7172a0, sym=0x71a660, ssiz e=ssize@entry=0, archive_bfd=archive_bfd@entry=0x0) at nm.c:989 1: j = 44 2: r->sym_ptr_ptr = (struct bfd_symbol **) 0x71a8a8 3: *r->sym_ptr_ptr = (struct bfd_symbol *) 0x0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
