The fix for PR demangler/70909 and 67264 (endless demangler recursion)
catches when a demangle_component is printed in a cycle. But that doesn't
protect the call stack blowing up from non-cyclic nested types printed
recursively through d_print_comp. This can happen by a (very) long mangled
string that simply creates a very deep pointer or qualifier chain. Limit
the recursive d_print_comp call depth for a d_print_info to 1K nested
types.

libiberty/ChangeLog:

        * cp-demangle.c (MAX_RECURSION_COUNT): New constant.
        (struct d_print_info): Add recursion field.
        (d_print_init): Initialize recursion.
        (d_print_comp): Check and update d_print_info recursion depth.

I'm probably missing something, but this kind of seems like an
arbitrary limit.  It's possible to imagine a rather unlikely valid
symbol that will no longer be demangled.  Why do we want to do this?
What bug are we fixing?

It is an arbitrary limit and I am happy to change it if it is unrealistic.
I thought 1K was small enough that if we hit it we wouldn't have blown up
the call stack yet. But big enough that it is unlikely that it would be a
valid symbol (with that large a number of nested component types). The bug
we fix with this is a program trying to demangle a string that looks like
e.g. _Z3fnGGGGGGOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.... crashing because of stack overflow.

Cheers,

Mark

Hmmm, well, OK for stage 1, I guess.
