From: Mark Wielaard Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2019 22:43:22 +0000 (+0200) Subject: libdwelf: Make dwelf_elf_begin return NULL only when there is an error. X-Git-Tag: elfutils-0.177~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7ea82243ec3e556518116c51b528c3a4eb6d16f3;p=thirdparty%2Felfutils.git libdwelf: Make dwelf_elf_begin return NULL only when there is an error. dwelf_elf_begin was slightly different from elf_begin in case the file turned out to not be an ELF file. elf_begin would return an Elf handle with ELF_K_NONE. But dwelf_elf_begin would return NULL. This made it impossible to tell the difference between a file or decompression error and a (decompressed) file not being an ELF file. Since dwelf_elf_begin could still return different kinds of ELF files (ELF_K_ELF or ELF_K_AR - and theoretically ELF_K_COFF) this was not really useful anyway. So make it so that dwelf_elf_begin always returns an Elf handle unless there was a real error reading or decompressing the file. Otherwise return NULL to make clear there was a real error. Make sure that the decompression function returns DWFL_E_BADELF only when the file isn't compressed. In which case the Elf handle won't be replaced and can be returned (as ELF_K_NONE). Add a new version to dwelf_elf_begin so programs can rely on it returning NULL only for real errors.
