Hmm, I'm not familiar with gdb source, could you explain a little more?
The following is the function with your patch.
static char *
ada_fold_name (gdb::string_view name)
{
static char *fold_buffer = NULL;
static size_t fold_buffer_size = 0;
int len = name.size ();
GROW_VECT (fold_buffer, fold_buffer_size, len + 1);
if (name.size () > 0 && name[0] == '\'')
{
strncpy (fold_buffer, name.data () + 1, len - 2);
fold_buffer[len - 2] = '\000';
}
else
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
fold_buffer[i] = tolower (name[i]);
}
return fold_buffer;
}
The GROW_VECT() looks to alloc 1 byte to fold_buffer if name.size() is zero.
Theoretically yes, but you could notice that the definition of 'fold_buffer_size', actually it is a static variable, the ada_fold_name() may be called many times, but variable 'fold_buffer_size' is only initialized to zero once, it means that the value of 'fold_buffer_size' may not be zero(>1) in the subsequent calls. For this case, the GROW_VECT() will never allocate new memory.
See the definition of GROW_VECT():
#define GROW_VECT(v, s, m) \
if ((s) < (m)) (v) = (char *) grow_vect (v, &(s), m, sizeof *(v));
/* Assuming VECT points to an array of *SIZE objects of size
ELEMENT_SIZE, grow it to contain at least MIN_SIZE objects,
updating *SIZE as necessary and returning the (new) array. */
static void *
grow_vect (void *vect, size_t *size, size_t min_size, int element_size)
{
if (*size < min_size)
{
*size *= 2;
if (*size < min_size)
*size = min_size;
vect = xrealloc (vect, *size * element_size);
}
return vect;
}
Hope this helps.

Then len is zero, and nothing is done in the for loop, and fold_buffer[i]
(== fold_buffer[0]) can be set '\0', I thought.
> + fold_buffer[i] = '\0';
And as far as I've tried, no abort occured.
