goto-cc --function produces "error: failed to initialize `symbol'"

[polgreen]

A change that happened in develop between yesterday and today has made yesterdays goto-cc binaries incompatible with todays goto-cc.

I am aware that goto-cc was made incompatible with goto-binaries made with versions of CBMC prior to 5.10, but these binaries were made with goto-cc post 5.10.

I have moved from CBMC at this commit (with 2 commits reverted because they cause issue #2740). Call this CBMC version 1:

df44b74 Revert "type symbols now use ID_symbol_type"
c34ba19 Revert "avoid assert()"
05993f4 Merge pull request #2727 from tautschnig/fptr-debug

To CBMC at this commit (with 2 commits reverted because of issue #2740). Call this CBMC version 2:

d1fe30e Revert "type symbols now use ID_symbol_type"
2620809 Revert "avoid assert()"
1f06cde Merge pull request #2743 from tautschnig/boolbv-width

I am using a Xen binary, which can be compiled as in the docker file in PR #2504

If the binary is created with CBMC version 1, and then the following command is made with CBMC version 2, I get the following error:

goto-cc --function x86_emulate xen-syms.binary -o output.binary
traps.c:104:1: error: failed to initialize `symbol'
