Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 4/4] selftests/bpf: Check that sorting preserves types in bpftool dump
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 17:06:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820000627.3826188-5-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820000627.3826188-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>

Sorting the C dump is meant to make generated headers diffable. The
sorted and unsorted dumps of the same BTF have to emit the same types.

Extend the fixture with a few more top-level definitions, including
anonymous enums, and add a subtest comparing how many types are
emitted with or without sort.
