Subject: [PATCH 2/8] perf python: split Clang options when invoking Popen
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 11:26:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925-perf_build_android_ndk-v1-2-8b35aadde3dc@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250925-perf_build_android_ndk-v1-0-8b35aadde3dc@arm.com>
When passing a list to subprocess.Popen, each element maps to one argv
token. Current code bundles multiple Clang flags into a single element,
something like:
cmd = ['clang',
'--target=x86_64-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as -Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch',
'test-hello.c']
So Clang only sees one long, invalid option instead of separate flags,
as a result, the script cannot capture any log via PIPE.
Fix this by using shlex.split() to separate the string so each option
becomes its own argv element. The fixed list will be:
cmd = ['clang',
'--target=x86_64-linux-gnu',
'-fintegrated-as',
'-Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch',
'test-hello.c']
Fixes: 09e6f9f98370 ("perf python: Fix splitting CC into compiler and options")
