X-Git-Tag: elfutils-0.180~26 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39f28eaf8c821d71d57ffc759655ec4168d0bead;p=thirdparty%2Felfutils.git libdwfl: Initialize bits to NULL in dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo for LTO. GCC10 LTO is too smart (and somewhat cryptic): find-debuginfo.c: In function ‘dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo’: debuginfod-client.c:85:8: error: ‘bits’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] find-debuginfo.c:360:24: note: ‘bits’ was declared here lto1: all warnings being treated as errors So it inlines __libdwfl_debuginfod_find_debuginfo into dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo and since it cannot see into the function pointer (*fp_debuginfod_find_debuginfo), it assumes that build_id_bit (== bits in dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo) will be used by the called function and it might not be initialized. But if you read the code the there is a check for build_id_len > 0 to see whether bits is or isn't initialized before using bits. But gcc isn't smart enough to figure that out. Maybe that actually should be an heuristic gcc lto should use. If the callchain I am inlining is so deep that I cannot figure out maybe-uninitialized variables anymore I should stop inlining. For now just help GCC out and initialize bits to NULL.
