Subject: [PATCH dwarves v2 0/3] pahole: Fix --unions bypassing the struct-only options
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 17:05:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1788368236.git.duttaditya18@gmail.com> (raw)

Split into three independent patches as you asked, so any of them can be
picked up or dropped on its own:

  1/3 --unions --packable segfault fix with the Fixes: tag
  2/3 add flexible array options, to the struct only check
  3/3 stop ignoring the struct-only filters.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/dwarves/20260831185641.971022-1-duttaditya18@gmail.com/

Holes and padding in the structs inside a union can be found with
'pahole -a -A.' Details are in my reply on the v1 thread.

Would a '--recursive' modifier make sense? The hole and padding filters
don't look inside member structs currently. Optionally with a depth like
'--recursive=2'.

Aditya Dutt (3):
  pahole: Fix --unions --packable segfault
  pahole: Don't match unions with --with_flexible_array
  pahole: Apply the struct-only filters to unions
