From 3168c158ad3535af1cd7423c9f8cd5ac549f2f9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Ambardar Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2020 17:03:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Fix build failure from uninitialized variable warning While compiling libbpf, some GCC versions (at least 8.4.0) have difficulty determining control flow and a emit warning for potentially uninitialized usage of 'map', which results in a build error if using "-Werror": In file included from libbpf.c:56: libbpf.c: In function '__bpf_object__open': libbpf_internal.h:59:2: warning: 'map' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] libbpf_print(level, "libbpf: " fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ ^~~~~~~~~~~~ libbpf.c:5032:18: note: 'map' was declared here struct bpf_map *map, *targ_map; ^~~ The warning/error is false based on code inspection, so silence it with a NULL initialization.
