[PATCH] fix: don't dump pointer value in error message

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

 



In evaluate_symbol_type(), an error message is issued
if a SYM_UNINITIALIZED symbol is reached. Good.

However, the error message display the address of the
incriminated symbol which isn't much useful for finding
the origin of the problem.

Fix this by displaying the symbol's typename instead.
