Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/9] perf symbol: Fix the build when demangling with libbfd
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 06:21:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916062147.4CC4F1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)

> cxx_demangle_sym() calls bfd_demangle() with the DMGL_PARAMS and
> DMGL_ANSI flags, but nothing declares them. The
> "#define PACKAGE 'perf'", "#include <bfd.h>" and the DMGL_ definitions
> were left behind in symbol-elf.c when the demangling code moved to
> symbol.c, and libiberty's demangle.h that defines the flags isn't
> installed by every binutils package. The cplus_demangle() variant is
> missing a declaration for the same reason.
>
> The code is only built when the C++ ABI's __cxa_demangle() is
> unavailable, so most builds never compile it:
>
> $ make BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 NO_DEMANGLE=1
> util/symbol.c:2714: error: 'DMGL_PARAMS' undeclared
> util/symbol.c:2714: error: 'DMGL_ANSI' undeclared
> util/symbol.c:2716: error: implicit declaration of 'bfd_demangle'
>
> Move the libbfd demangling into libbfd.c, which already includes bfd.h,
> and declare in symbol.c the libiberty interfaces the cplus_demangle()
> variant needs.
