Thanks, but I noticed that the fold_buffer is also a static variable,
it looks like once it's allocated, never be freed. So it always has
1 byte at least?
The above implementation of ada_fold_name() is incomprehensible, I followed up the latest upstream changes, the implementation has been improved and simply uses std::string as the variable type('fold_storage'). Furthermore, crash tools will also have minor changes. How about the following changes?
static const char *
ada_fold_name (gdb::string_view name)
{
static std::string fold_storage;
if (!name.empty () && name[0] == '\'')
fold_storage = gdb::to_string (name.substr (1, name.size () - 2));
else
{
fold_storage = gdb::to_string (name);
for (int i = 0; i < name.size (); i += 1)
fold_storage[i] = tolower (fold_storage[i]);
}
return fold_storage.c_str ();
}
