gdb: fix use of out of scope temporary variable in break-cond-parse.c
The commit: commit c6b4867 Date: Thu Mar 30 19:21:22 2023 +0100 gdb: parse pending breakpoint thread/task immediately Introduce a use bug where the value of a temporary variable was being used after it had gone out of scope. This was picked up by the address sanitizer and would result in this error: (gdb) maintenance selftest create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string Running selftest create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string. ================================================================= ==2265825==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-use-after-scope on address 0x7fbb08046511 at pc 0x000001632230 bp 0x7fff7c2fb770 sp 0x7fff7c2fb768 READ of size 1 at 0x7fbb08046511 thread T0 #0 0x163222f in create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string(char const*, std::unique_ptr<char, gdb::xfree_deleter<char> >*, int*, int*, int*, std::unique_ptr<char, gdb::xfree_deleter<char> >*, bool*) ../../src/gdb/break-cond-parse.c:496 #1 0x1633026 in test ../../src/gdb/break-cond-parse.c:582 #2 0x163391b in create_breakpoint_parse_arg_string_tests ../../src/gdb/break-cond-parse.c:649 #3 0x12cfebc in void std::__invoke_impl<void, void (*&)()>(std::__invoke_other, void (*&)()) /usr/include/c++/13/bits/invoke.h:61 #4 0x12cc8ee in std::enable_if<is_invocable_r_v<void, void (*&)()>, void>::type std::__invoke_r<void, void (*&)()>(void (*&)()) /usr/include/c++/13/bits/invoke.h:111 #5 0x12c81e5 in std::_Function_handler<void (), void (*)()>::_M_invoke(std::_Any_data const&) /usr/include/c++/13/bits/std_function.h:290 #6 0x18bb51d in std::function<void ()>::operator()() const /usr/include/c++/13/bits/std_function.h:591 #7 0x4193ef9 in selftests::run_tests(gdb::array_view<char const* const>, bool) ../../src/gdbsupport/selftest.cc:100 #8 0x21c2206 in maintenance_selftest ../../src/gdb/maint.c:1172 ... etc ... The problem was caused by three lines like this one: thread_info *thr = parse_thread_id (std::string (t.get_value ()).c_str (), &tmptok); After parsing the thread-id TMPTOK would be left pointing into the temporary string which had been created on this line. When on the next line we did this: gdb_assert (*tmptok == '\0'); The value of *TMPTOK is undefined. Fix this by creating the std::string earlier in the scope. Now the contents of the string will remain valid when we check *TMPTOK. The address sanitizer issue is now resolved.
