Subject: [PATCH] sparse/dissect: change do_symbol(sym) to use sym->definition
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 18:28:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aWPduv1ewBCFVn5w@redhat.com> (raw)

Test-case:

	$ cat TEST.c
	static inline void i_func(void) { FUNC(); }
	static inline void i_func(void);
	void func(void) { i_func(); }

	$ ./test-dissect TEST.c

	   3:6                    def   f func                             void ( ... )
	   2:20                   def   f i_func                           void ( ... )
	   3:19  func             --r   f i_func                           void ( ... )

dissect reports the wrong position for the definition of i_func()
and doesn't inspect its body.

This is because the 2nd external_declaration() binds another SYM_NODE
to the same ident and lookup_symbol() called during parsing returns
the most recent one, which is then used by do_symbol().

With this patch:

	$ ./test-dissect TEST.c

	   3:6                    def   f func                             void ( ... )
	   1:20                   def   f i_func                           void ( ... )
	   1:35  i_func           --r   f FUNC                             bad type
	   3:19  func             --r   f i_func                           void ( ... )
