gdb: Don't corrupt completions hash when expanding the hash table
Commit: commit 724fd9ba Date: Mon Jan 27 17:37:20 2020 +0000 gdb: Restructure the completion_tracker class caused the completion hash table to become corrupted if the table ever needed to grow beyond its original size of 200 elements. The hash table stores completion_tracker::completion_hash_entry objects, but hashes them based on their name, which is only one field of the object. When possibly inserting a new element we compute the hash with htab_hash_string of the new elements name, and then lookup matching elements using htab_find_slot_with_hash. If there's not matching element we create a completion_hash_entry object within the hash table. However, when we allocate the hash we pass htab_hash_string to htab_create_alloc as the hash function, and this is not OK. This means that when the hash table needs to grow, existing elements within the hash are re-hashed by passing the completion_hash_entry pointer to htab_hash_string, which obviously does not do what we expect. The solution is to create a new hash function that takes a pointer to a completion_hash_entry, and then calls htab_hash_string on the name of the entry only. This regression was spotted when running the gdb.base/completion.exp test on the aarch64 target. gdb/ChangeLog: * completer.c (class completion_tracker::completion_hash_entry) <hash_name>: New member function. (completion_tracker::discard_completions): New callback to hash a completion_hash_entry, pass this to htab_create_alloc. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/many-completions.exp: New file.
