[Bug 1971409] Re: value_copy: Assertion `arg->contents != nullptr' failed.

[Kevin Puetz]

Looks like the specific upstream issue is
https://github.deere.com/FOCUS/WineATL/blob/fab575865d1bbceedde12226d2517d17b20189bc/gdb/wine-
add-symbol-file.py

And there's a build for kinetic that contains the fix, which does
actually install and work on jammy (since no other dependencies changed
too much, at least not yet): https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-
cpptools/issues/103#issuecomment-1151217772

Title:
  value_copy: Assertion `arg->contents != nullptr' failed.

Status in gdb package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When debugging RP2040 with vscode this assert makes gdb crash.
  This is a new assert, that wasn't present in gdb 11.
  The fix is easy, replace `if (!value_lazy (val))` to `if (!value_lazy (val) && arg->contents != nullptr) `.
