Subject: [PATCH v3] libbpf: workaround -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 11:37:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12cec1262be71de5f1d9eae121b637041a5ae247.1723459079.git.sam@gentoo.org> (raw)
In `elf_close`, we get this with GCC 15 -O3 (at least):
```
In function ‘elf_close’,
inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
elf.c:57:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.elf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
57 | elf_end(elf_fd->elf);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elf.c: In function ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’:
elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.elf’ was declared here
377 | struct elf_fd elf_fd;
| ^~~~~~
In function ‘elf_close’,
inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
elf.c:58:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.fd’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
58 | close(elf_fd->fd);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.fd’ was declared here
377 | struct elf_fd elf_fd;
| ^~~~~~
```
In reality, our use is fine, it's just that GCC doesn't model errno
here (see linked GCC bug). Suppress -Wmaybe-uninitialized accordingly
by initializing elf_fd.elf to -1.
I've done this in two other functions as well given it could easily
occur there too (same access/use pattern).
