Subject: [PATCH] Silence GCC "uninitialized" warning on minsyms.c:lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section
Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2018 20:26:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180618202634.10452-1-sergiodj@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180325191943.8246-12-palves@redhat.com>

Commit 20944a6e20324cd897bf6c4c5fd20ef7224dacaa ("Fix stepping past
GNU ifunc resolvers (introduce lookup_msym_prefer)") introduced a new
way to determine the 'want_type' variable on
minsyms.c:lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section.  Because the
'lookup_msym_prefer' has a default value, we know that 'want_type'
will always be initialized.  However, GCC is complaining that the
variable can be used uninitialized in the function:

  ../../gdb/minsyms.c: In function 'bound_minimal_symbol lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section(CORE_ADDR, obj_section*, lookup_msym_prefer)':
  ../../gdb/minsyms.c:825:40: warning: 'want_type' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
	   && MSYMBOL_TYPE (&msymbol[hi]) != want_type

(This is with gcc-8.1.1-1.fc29.x86_64).

This patch fixes it by initializing 'want_type' with 'mst_text', which
is the same default value that is passed in the 'lookup_msym_prefer'
variable.

Even though this can be considered an obvious patch, I'm sending it
for approval.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-06-18  Sergio Durigan Junior  <sergiodj@redhat.com>

	* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Initialize
	'want_type' to silence GCC warning.
