Description:
PR22187, infinite loop in find_abstract_instance_name
This patch prevents the simple case of infinite recursion in
find_abstract_instance_name by ensuring that the attributes being
processed are not the same as the previous call.
The patch also does a little cleanup, and leaves in place some changes
to the nested_funcs array that I made when I wrongly thought looping
might occur in scan_unit_for_symbols.
PR 22187
* dwarf2.c (find_abstract_instance_name): Add orig_info_ptr and
pname param. Return status. Make name const. Don't abort,
return an error. Formatting. Exit if current info_ptr matches
orig_info_ptr. Update callers.
(scan_unit_for_symbols): Start at nesting_level of zero. Make
nested_funcs an array of structs for extensibility. Formatting.
Affects: <= 2.29
