Hi, This patch fixes the failing pch testcases as observed in PR testsuite/100749. Although the PR mentions powerpc64, the issue exists on other arches but appears to be latent.
The issue causing the failure was that the underlying char[] df_set_names is a static var. Multiple calls to 'debug_set_names' with different write_symbols like the in c-family/c-pch.c must entail the use of xstrdup or such to retain a reliable copy of the debug format str containing the names. Bootstrapped, regression tested on x86_64, powepc64 (make check-gcc). Thanks, Indu ---- PR testsuite/100749 - gcc.dg/pch/valid-1.c fails after r12-949 Fix failing pch testcases. Use xstrdup to retain a reliable copy of the debug format str containing the names (df_set_names is a static string var). 2021-05-28 Indu Bhagat <indu.bha...@oracle.com> gcc/c-family/ChangeLog: * c-pch.c (c_common_valid_pch): Use xstrdup for debug format set names. --- gcc/c-family/c-pch.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/c-family/c-pch.c b/gcc/c-family/c-pch.c index 8f0f760..5da6042 100644 --- a/gcc/c-family/c-pch.c +++ b/gcc/c-family/c-pch.c @@ -255,10 +255,13 @@ c_common_valid_pch (cpp_reader *pfile, const char *name, int fd) if (v.pch_write_symbols != write_symbols && write_symbols != NO_DEBUG) { + char *created_str = xstrdup (debug_set_names (v.pch_write_symbols)); + char *used_str = xstrdup (debug_set_names (write_symbols)); cpp_warning (pfile, CPP_W_INVALID_PCH, "%s: created with '%s' debug info, but used with '%s'", name, - debug_set_names (v.pch_write_symbols), - debug_set_names (write_symbols)); + created_str, used_str); + free (created_str); + free (used_str); return 2; } -- 1.8.3.1
