Bug ID: 21522
Summary: eu-strip generates empty output if there is nothing to
do
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tools
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade at gmail dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Steps to reproduce:
$ cat test.c
int main() { return 1; }
$ gcc test.c
$ eu-strip -g -o test ./a.out
The "test" file will have zero bytes.
This happens because of the test in src/strip.c:
/* Test whether we are doing anything at all. */
if (cnt == idx)
/* Nope, all removable sections are already gone. */
goto fail_close;
Note also that, if the test is removed, it still
generates a different binary, so, the test is incomplete,
or should be removed.
