The ctf_type_name_raw and ctf_type_aname_raw functions, which return the raw, unadorned name of CTF types, have one unfortunate wrinkle: they return NULL not only on error but when returning the name of types without a name in writable dicts. This was unintended: it not only makes it impossible to reliably tell if a given call to ctf_type_name_raw failed (due to a bad string offset say), but also complicates all its callers, who now have to check for both NULL and "". The written-out form of CTF has no concept of a NULL pointer instead of a string: all null strings are strtab offset 0, "". So the more we can do to remove this distinction from the writable form, the less complex the rest of our code needs to be. Armour against NULL in multiple places, arranging to return "" from ctf_type_name_raw if offset 0 is passed in, and removing a risky optimization from ctf_str_add* that avoided doing anything if a NULL was passed in: this added needless irregularity to the functions' API surface, since "" and NULL should be treated identically, and in the case of ctf_str_add_ref, we shouldn't skip adding the passed-in REF to the list of references to be updated no matter what the content of the string happens to be. This means we can simplify the deduplicator a tiny bit, also fixing a bug (latent when used by ld) where if the input dict was writable, we failed to realise when types were nameless and could end up creating deeply unhelpful synthetic forwards with no name, which we just banned a few commits ago, so the link failed. libctf/ChangeLog 2021-01-27 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-string.c (ctf_str_add): Treat adding a NULL as adding "". (ctf_str_add_ref): Likewise. (ctf_str_add_external): Likewise. * ctf-types.c (ctf_type_name_raw): Always return "" for offset 0. * ctf-dedup.c (ctf_dedup_multiple_input_dicts): Don't armour against NULL name. (ctf_dedup_maybe_synthesize_forward): Likewise. |
