After porting r198033 from google/4_7 to google/4_8 a test case failed with an assert when trying to take the strlen of profile_data_prefix.
In most cases this is either set from the directory specified to -fprofile-generate=, or to getpwd when a directory is not specified. However, the exception is when no directory is specified for -fprofile-generate and -auxbase-strip option is used with the absolute pathname. In that case the code does not set profile_data_prefix since the filenames already have the full path. In the code that sets __gcov_get_profile_prefix, the fix is to simply check if profile_data_prefix is still NULL, and if so just set via getpwd. Passes regression tests and failure I reproduced. Ok for google branches? Thanks, Teresa 2013-09-12 Teresa Johnson <tejohn...@google.com> * tree-profile.c (tree_init_instrumentation): Handle the case where profile_data_prefix is NULL.
