ctf_open (or, rather, ctf_fdopen, which underlies it) has several
endianness problems, even though it was written after the
endian-swapping code was implemented, so should have been endian-aware.
Even though the comment right above the relevant check says that it wil
check for CTF magic in any endianness, it only checks in the native
endianness, so opening raw LE CTF files on BE, or vice-versa, will fail.
It also checks the CTF version by hand, without ever endianness-swapping
the header, so that too will fail, and is entirely redundant because
ctf_simple_open does the job properly in any case. We have a similar
problem in the next if block, which checks for raw CTF archives: we are
checking in the native endianness while we should be doing a le64toh()
on it to check in little-endian form only: so opening CTF archives
created on the local machine will fail if the local machine is
big-endian.
Adding insult to injury, if ctf_simple_open then fails, we go on and try
to turn it into a single-element CTF archive regardless, throwing the
error away. Since this involves dereferencing null pointers it is not
likely to work very well.
libctf/
* ctf-open-bfd.c: Add swap.h and ctf-endian.h.
(ctf_fdopen): Check for endian-swapped raw CTF magic, and
little-endian CTF archive magic. Do not check the CTF version:
ctf_simple_open does that in endian-safe ways. Do not dereference
null pointers on open failure.
- Use of nonportable <endian.h>
- Use of qsort_r
- Use of zlib without appropriate magic to pull in the binutils zlib
- Use of off64_t without checking (fixed by dropping the unused fields
that need off64_t entirely)
- signedness problems due to long being too short a type on 32-bit
platforms: ctf_id_t is now 'unsigned long', and CTF_ERR must be
used only for functions that return ctf_id_t
- One lingering use of bzero() and of <sys/errno.h>
All fixed, using code from gnulib where possible.
Relatedly, set cts_size in a couple of places it was missed
(string table and symbol table loading upon ctf_bfdopen()).

abfd is potentially unused now.
These functions let you open an ELF file with a customarily-named CTF
section in it, automatically opening the CTF file or archive and
associating the symbol and string tables in the ELF file with the CTF
container, so that you can look up the types of symbols in the ELF file
via ctf_lookup_by_symbol(), and so that strings can be shared between
the ELF file and CTF container, to save space.
It uses BFD machinery to do so. This has now been lightly tested and
seems to work. In particular, if you already have a bfd you can pass
it in to ctf_bfdopen(), and if you want a bfd made for you you can
call ctf_open() or ctf_fdopen(), optionally specifying a target (or
try once without a target and then again with one if you get
ECTF_BFD_AMBIGUOUS back).
We use a forward declaration for the struct bfd in ctf-api.h, so that
ctf-api.h users are not required to pull in <bfd.h>. (This is mostly
for the sake of readelf.)
