--- Comment #12 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-12 branch has been updated by Iain Buclaw <ibuc...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:016047f54713dc601c661ab57c78a26da3759608 commit r12-9729-g016047f54713dc601c661ab57c78a26da3759608 Author: Iain Buclaw <ibuc...@gdcproject.org> Date: Mon Jun 26 02:29:46 2023 +0200 d: Fix crash in d/dmd/root/aav.d:127 dmd_aaGetRvalue from DsymbolTable::lookup Backports patch from upstream dmd mainline for fixing PR110113. The data being Mem.xrealloc'd contains many Array(T) fields, some of which have self references in their data.ptr field thanks to the smallarray optimization used by Array. Naturally then, the memcpy from old GC data to new retains those self referenced addresses, and the GC marks the old data as "free". Some time later GC.malloc will return a pointer to said "free" data. So now we have two GC references to the same memory. One that is treating the data as an Array(VarDeclaration) in dmd.escape.escapeByStorage, and the other as an AA in the symtab of a dmd.dsymbol.ScopeDsymbol. Fix this memory corruption by not storing the data in a global variable for reuse. If there are no more live references, the GC will free it.
