Subject: [PATCH dwarves 2/2] pahole: Fix -C -T segfault
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 02:26:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903205659.1543175-3-duttaditya18@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903205659.1543175-1-duttaditya18@gmail.com>
-T/--nr_definitions sets stats_formatter and sets formatter to NULL.
print_classes() checks for that before calling it.
The -C code path does not which results in a segfault.
Before:
$ cat m.c
struct named { int a; char b; };
union u_named { int a; long b; };
struct holey { char a; int b; };
struct named s; union u_named u; struct holey h;
$ pahole -C named -T m.o
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Reject the combination, similar to '-m -C'.
After:
$ pahole -C named -T m.o
pahole: -T/nr_definitions doesn't work with --class_name/-C, it shows all classes and the number of times they are defined
$ echo $?
1
$ pahole -T m.o # unchanged
named 1
u_named 1
holey 1
Fixes: f5857bd34b220a64 ("pahole: Honour --compile when -C is used")
