This patch fixes a type confusion bug in varasm.cc:assemble_variable. The problem is that the current code calls: sect = get_variable_section (decl, false); and then accesses sect->named.name without checking whether the section is in fact a named section. In the surrounding else clause, we only know that SECTION_STYLE (sect) != SECTION_NOSWITCH, so it is possible that the section is an unnamed section. In practice, this means that we end up doing a wild string compare between a function pointer and the string literal ".vtable_map_vars". This is because sect->named.name aliases sect->unnamed.callback in the section union. This can be seen in GDB with a simple testcase such as "int x;". This patch fixes the issue by checking the SECTION_STYLE of the section is in fact SECTION_NAMED before trying to do the string comparison. We drop the existing check of whether sect->named.name is non-NULL because this should presumably always be the case for a named section. gcc/ChangeLog: * varasm.cc (assemble_variable): Fix type confusion bug when checking for ".vtable_map_vars" section.
