Simon Marchi dd5ca05f47 gdb: fix regression in copy_type_recursive
Commit 5b7d941b90 ("gdb: add owner-related methods to struct type")
introduced a regression when running gdb.base/jit-reader-simple.exp and
others.  A NULL pointer dereference happens here:

This is inside a TYPE_ALLOC macro.  The fact that gdbarch_obstack is
called means that the type is flagged as being arch-owned, but arch=0x0
means that type::arch returned NULL, probably meaning that the m_owner
field contains NULL.

If we look at the code before the problematic patch, in the
copy_type_recursive function, we see:

    if (! TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (type))
      return type;

    ...

    TYPE_OBJFILE_OWNED (new_type) = 0;
    TYPE_OWNER (new_type).gdbarch = get_type_arch (type);

The last two lines were replaced with:

    new_type->set_owner (type->arch ());

get_type_arch and type->arch isn't the same thing: get_type_arch gets
the type's arch owner if it is arch-owned, and gets the objfile's arch
if the type is objfile owned.  So it always returns non-NULL.
type->arch returns the type's arch if the type is arch-owned, else NULL.
So since the original type is objfile owned, it effectively made the new
type arch-owned (that is good) but set the owner to NULL (that is bad).

Fix this by using get_type_arch again there.

I spotted one other similar change in lookup_array_range_type, in the
original patch.  But that one appears to be correct, as it is executed
only if the type is arch-owned.

Add some asserts in type::set_owner to ensure we never set a NULL owner.
That would have helped catch the issue a little bit earlier, so it could
help in the future.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* gdbtypes.c (copy_type_recursive): Use get_type_arch.
	* gdbtypes.h (struct type) <set_owner>: Add asserts.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
