Bug description

I ran ocamlopt.opt (compiled with -g) under gdb and placed a breakpoint in a random OCaml function. As you can see the stack trace is wrong after the first frame:

(gdb) break camlBtype__save_desc_1660
Breakpoint 5 at 0x4b2f34: file typing/btype.ml, line 402.
(gdb) cont
Continuing.

Breakpoint 5, 0x00000000004b2f34 in camlBtype__save_desc_1660 ()
at typing/btype.ml:402
402 let save_desc ty desc =
(gdb) bt

[continues forever]

Steps to reproduce

Compile ocamlopt.opt with debugging enabled. This also applies to any OCaml program.

Place a breakpoint anywhere and run it.

Use gdb `bt' command to display the stack trace.

Stack traces are normal for C code, but consist of a repeated function for OCaml code.

It turns out that the same problem could be seen on 32-bit ARM platforms.

I've committed a fix to the 4.02 branch that I tested on a 32-bit ARM machine. I have also made a fix to the AArch64 backend that I think will solve the problem, but we should test on real hardware. I will ask the OP to check, and re-open this issue if needs be.

It has been confirmed that this appears to fix the problem on AArch64 hardware.
