Product: binutils

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=32ec889602502348b704cfb16e65c83dc3eec095
("Tidy up readelf's use of boolean values.") readelf errors on reading an empty
section from an object file:
((32ec889...))mwhudson@aeglos:/opt/opensource/binutils/binutils/binutils$
./readelf --hex-dump=.data alloc_system-d16b8f0e.0.o
Section '.data' has no data to dump.
((32ec889...))mwhudson@aeglos:/opt/opensource/binutils/binutils/binutils$ echo
$?
1
It's unclear if this is a desired consequence of this commit. It seems wrong to
me.
(This breaks diffoscope's tests, which is how I found this)
