When printing a pointer value, "%p" will either print the hexadecimal value of the pointer (e.g `0x1234`), or `(nil)` when NULL. Both of those are invalid json "integer" values and need to be wrapped in quotes. Before: ``` $ sudo bpftool struct_ops dump name ned_dummy_cca | grep next "next": (nil), $ sudo bpftool struct_ops dump name ned_dummy_cca | \ jq '.[1].bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops.data.list.next' parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 29, column 34 ``` After: ``` $ sudo ./bpftool struct_ops dump name ned_dummy_cca | grep next "next": "(nil)", $ sudo ./bpftool struct_ops dump name ned_dummy_cca | \ jq '.[1].bpf_struct_ops_tcp_congestion_ops.data.list.next' "(nil)" ``` Signed-off-by: Manu Bretelle <chantr4@xxxxxxxxx> --- tools/bpf/bpftool/btf_dumper.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/btf_dumper.c b/tools/bpf/bpftool/btf_dumper.c index 1b7f69714604..527fe867a8fb 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/btf_dumper.c +++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/btf_dumper.c @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ static void btf_dumper_ptr(const struct btf_dumper *d, print_ptr_value: if (d->is_plain_text) - jsonw_printf(d->jw, "%p", (void *)value); + jsonw_printf(d->jw, "\"%p\"", (void *)value); else jsonw_printf(d->jw, "%lu", value); } -- 2.39.3
