[index] Return when DC is null in handleReference
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

DC may sometimes be NULL and getContainerInfo(DC, Container) will fail.

See https://github.com/jacobdufault/cquery/issues/192 for the full story.

https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/test/src/unit-constructor1.cpp and many other files in that project's test/src/ direcotory cannot be indexed because

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/tools/libclang/CXIndexDataConsumer.cpp#L203

c++
    handleReference(ND, Loc, Cursor,
                    dyn_cast_or_null<NamedDecl>(ASTNode.Parent),
                    ASTNode.ContainerDC, ASTNode.OrigE, Kind);

dyn_cast_or_null<NamedDecl>(ASTNode.Parent) is somehow a null pointer and in https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/tools/libclang/CXIndexDataConsumer.cpp#L935

c++
  ContainerInfo Container;
  getContainerInfo(DC, Container);

The null DC is casted ContInfo.cursor = getCursor(cast<Decl>(DC)); and SIGSEGV.

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/master/tools/libclang/CXIndexDataConsumer.cpp#L203

handleReference(ND, Loc, Cursor,
                dyn_cast_or_null<NamedDecl>(ASTNode.Parent),
                ASTNode.ContainerDC, ASTNode.OrigE, Kind);

Sorry for changing this back and forth. But I do not have a powerful workstation and have to reverse engineer this.

HighCommander4 narrowed it down https://github.com/jacobdufault/cquery/issues/219#issuecomment-354903152 to a much simpler reproduce:

c++
template <typename>
struct actor;

template <template <typename> class Actor = actor>
struct terminal;

This may trigger null pointer dereference of DC (because it calls cast). If the default template argument is removed, the crash goes away.

Sorry, I was hoping @akyrtzi would see this.
I don't know enough about the code to know whether DC==null is an indicator of some other problem, but if this is crashing today then let's not block on that.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jan 8 2018, 9:45 AM

Could you add a test case for this change ? See examples in test/Index/Core.
Also for the test case code: template <template <typename> class Actor = actor>, is the actor reference in this code reported ?
See the test examples on how to print out and test how the source symbols are indexed.

@akyrtzi When I run c-index-test core -print-source-symbols -- a.cc on

template <typename>
struct actor;

template <template <typename> class Actor = actor>
struct terminal;

the issue disappears. It emerges only when clang_indexTranslationUnit is called with interactions of other things.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

Ah, sorry I mislead you. To test this try using c-index-test -index-file /path/to/file, see other examples in test/Index, e.g. test/Index/index-file.cpp

Thanks for the command. It is really helpful. I have re-run cquery with or without the !DC patch (on git-svn HEAD) and see no libclang crash. I guess the real issue was in somewhere else and in these weeks it has been fixed. The !DC check patch was useful then.

zsh
% cat a.cc
template <typename>
struct actor;

template <template <typename> class Actor = actor>
struct terminal;
