                    using the name, so using a.out
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org

Unable to understand, in objdump, the user is not using the name, so using
a.out

Why not use an empty string?


elfutils-0.187\src\objdump.c

```
  if (remaining == argc)
    /* The user didn't specify a name so we use a.out.  */
    result = process_file ("a.out", false);

```

--- Comment #1 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> ---
Why not use an empty string as a filename?  A user can type

     eu-objdump ""

to pass an empty string if that's really what she wants.
Defaulting to "a.out" in the absence of a filename is traditional.
