Subject: [PATCH 4/4] sparse/dissect: fix missing usage reports for unnamed members of named types
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 16:56:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aiLjtfbosMDLSux5@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aiLjjDwKRB1UjNcs@redhat.com>

With the recent change, dissect.c correctly reports the definitions of the
promoted members, but it still doesn't report the usages of the underlying
members.

This means, for example, that

	$ semind search -m r ns_tree.ns_id

finds nothing without this change.

Minimal (same) test-case:

	union U { int i; };

	struct S { union U; } v = { .i = 0 };

Before the patch:

	$ test-dissect TEST.c
	3:8                    def   s S
	1:7                    def   s U
	1:15                   def   m U.i                              int
	3:19                   def   m S.i                              int
	3:23                   def   v v                                struct S
	3:23                   -w-   v v                                struct S
	3:30  v                -w-   m S.i                              int

The usage of U.i is not reported.

After the patch:

	$ test-dissect TEST.c
	3:8                    def   s S
	1:7                    def   s U
	1:15                   def   m U.i                              int
	3:19                   def   m S.i                              int
	3:23                   def   v v                                struct S
	3:23                   -w-   v v                                struct S
	3:30  v                -w-   m U.i                              int
	3:30  v                -w-   m S.i                              int
