Subject: [PATCH] libdwfl: Fix wrong type to make gcc -fsanitize=undefined happy.
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 16:01:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1429624875-19909-1-git-send-email-mjw@redhat.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1271 bytes --]

gcc -fsanitize=undefined would warn about calling dwfl_error accessing
the error string array: elfutils/libdwfl/dwfl_error.c:156:60:
	runtime error: index 385 out of bounds for type 'char [9]'

This is because it thought we went beyond error string zero "no error",
which is indeed 9 chars. "Correct" the type of the pointer to make
ubsan happy.
