It's a double-free bug in lra.c, albeit one that requires being used
in a multithreaded way from libgccjit to be triggered.

libgccjit's test-threads.c repeatedly compiles and runs numerous tests,
each in a separate thread.

Attempting to add an empty test that generates no code leads to a
double-free ICE within that thread, within lra.c's
finish_insn_code_data_once.

The root cause is that the insn_code_data array is cleared in
init_insn_code_data_once, but this is only called the first time
a cgraph_node is expanded [1], whereas the "loop-over-all-elements
and free them" is unconditionally called in finalize [2].  Hence
if there are no functions:
* the array is not re-initialized for the empty context
* when finish_insn_code_data_once is called for the empty context
it still contains the freed pointers from the previous context
that held the jit mutex, and hence the free is a double-free.

This patch sets the pointers to NULL after freeing them, fixing
the ICE.  The calls to free are still guarded by a check for NULL,
which is redundant, but maybe there's a reason for not wanting to
call "free" on a possibly-NULL value many times on process exit?
(it makes the diff cleaner, at least)

Fixes the issue in jit.dg.

Full bootstrap & regression test in progress.

Is it OK for master if it passes?

Sure, David.  Thank you for the patch.

gcc/ChangeLog:
        * lra.c (finish_insn_code_data_once): Set the array elements
        to NULL after freeing them.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
        * jit.dg/all-non-failing-tests.h: Add test-empty.c
