Re: [PATCH] bug fix for gdb 16039


Testcase below:

----Makefile----
so:
      g++ -shared -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -fPIC -rdynamic
dy.cxx -m32 -o libdy.so
all: so
      g++ -m32 -ldl main.cxx -g -o main

----dy.cxx----
#include <string>
using namespace std;

extern "C" const char * getVerson()
{
    std::string verson = "1.0";
    return verson.c_str();
}

----main.cxx----
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    void *handle = dlopen("libdy.so", RTLD_LAZY);
    if (!handle) {
        fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", dlerror());
        return 1;
    }

    typedef const char*(*FUNCTION)();
    FUNCTION f = (FUNCTION)dlsym(handle, "getVerson");
    std::cout << f();

    dlclose(handle);

    // 'next' cmd stop work here
    int a, b, c;
    a = 1;
    b = 2;
    c = 3;
    std::cout << a << b << c;
}

thank you,
-YT
