[Bug binutils/21212] New: Improve "Empty loadable segment detected" warning
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21212 Bug ID: 21212 Summary: Improve "Empty loadable segment detected" warning Product: binutils Version: 2.29 (HEAD) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: binutils at ineranves dot de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 9868 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=9868&action=edit git patch This warning is currently shown (among other situations) when a segment has p_filesz = 0 and a p_memsz > 0 , which is a valid setup to initialize flash memory of embedded systems with zeros and explicitly mentioned in the ELF specification as a valid use case. The attached patch limits the warning to situations when p_filesz > 0 - which happens when a segment is truncated to 0 length by an objcopy operation that removes all of the segment's sections. When the warning is shown, it should identify the segment it is talking about. The attached patch includes the p_vaddr of the segment for that purpose. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

I have applied your patch with one small change - the warning will still be issued if the p_filesz field is zero *and* p_memsz is zero. I hope that this is OK with you.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21212 --- Comment #3 from Martin Bickel --- Hi Nick, your updated change is ok - I don't see any value in having segments with memsz==0 , so a warning makes sense. However, your commit message and Changelog entry is the wrong way round: the warning is disabled when filesz is zero and *memsz* is nonzero. Here is the behavior: filesz | memsz | original code | Martin's patch | Nick's patch -- 0 0 warn don't warn warn 0 > 0 warn don't warn don't warn > 0 > 0 warn warn warn > 0 0 warn warn warn The last line shouldn't be relevant as it's illegal in ELF. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
