Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 3/4] selftests/bpf: Test btf_dump rendering of decl_tags
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 18:20:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917012037.1396254-4-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917012037.1396254-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev>
Cover the decl tag rendering the previous patch added. One subtest
builds a BTF with every shape that renders, plus two that must not:
- a named record with both forms of tag
- a typedef'd anonymous record, whose attribute precedes the declarator
- a union
- a record that also carries the derived packed attribute
- an anonymous record inlined at a member
- two records whose tags are added in reverse target order, which is
what pins the sort: without it the earlier record loses its attribute
- attributes on a var and on a func, which btf_dump never declares
A second subtest appends types and attributes to a dumper that has
already run. Its last phase adds an attribute for a record emitted two
dumps earlier and checks nothing is rendered for it: an attribute is
part of the type, and btf_dump emits each definition once.
A third covers members. A member attribute and a record one share a key
in the index, so it checks they do not leak into each other's position,
over a function pointer, an array and a bit-field - declarators the
attribute has to follow rather than precede.
A fourth covers typedefs, including a typedef of an anonymous record
carrying three groups at once, binding to the member, the record and
the typedef.
Switch test_ctx__dump_and_compare() to compare_text_to_expected()
while we are here.
