It is obvious why that happens, dummy_frame_pop() will call compile objfile
cleanup which will free that objfile and NAME then becomes a stale pointer.

> Is there any reason we release OBJFILE in the dummy frame dtor?  Why
> don't we register a cleanup to release in OBJFILE in compile_object_run?
> together with releasing compile_module?  'struct compile_module' has a

(gdb) break puts
Breakpoint 2 at 0x3830c6fd30: file ioputs.c, line 34.
(gdb) compile code puts("hello")
Breakpoint 2, _IO_puts (str=0x7ffff7ff8000 "hello") at ioputs.c:34
34      {
The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB.
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(_gdb_expr) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
(gdb) bt
(gdb) _

Now compile_object_run() called from line
	(gdb) compile code puts("hello")
has finished for a long time.  But we still need to have that injected code
OBJFILE valid when GDB is executing it.  Therefore OBJFILE is freed only from
destructor of the frame #1.

At the patched line of call_function_by_hand_dummy() the dummy frame
destructor has not yet been run but it will be run before the fetched NAME
will get used.

gdb/ChangeLog
2015-05-19  Jan Kratochvil  <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>

	Fix ASAN crash for gdb.compile/compile.exp.
	* infcall.c (call_function_by_hand_dummy): Use xstrdup for NAME.
