[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: fix a clang compilation error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building selftests/bpf with clang
  make -j LLVM=1
  make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf -j LLVM=1
I hit the following compilation error:

  trace_helpers.c:152:9: error: variable 'found' is used uninitialized whenever 'while' loop exits because its condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
          while (fscanf(f, "%zx-%zx %s %zx %*[^\n]\n", &start, &end, buf, &base) == 4) {
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  trace_helpers.c:161:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
          if (!found)
               ^~~~~
  trace_helpers.c:152:9: note: remove the condition if it is always true
          while (fscanf(f, "%zx-%zx %s %zx %*[^\n]\n", &start, &end, buf, &base) == 4) {
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                 1
  trace_helpers.c:145:12: note: initialize the variable 'found' to silence this warning
          bool found;
                    ^
                     = false

It is possible that for sane /proc/self/maps we may never hit the above issue
in practice. But let us initialize variable 'found' properly to silence the
compilation error.
