From eea3dc5bf2813b77ee9819d1b9ec893140db1491 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 03:21:29 -0700 Subject: Don't issue errors on GDB Python files Many packages, including GCC, install Python files for GDB in library diretory. ldconfig reads them and issue errors since they aren't ELF files: ldconfig: /usr/gcc-5.1.1/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.21-gdb.py is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: /usr/gcc-5.1.1/libx32/libstdc++.so.6.0.21-gdb.py is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: /usr/gcc-5.1.1/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.21-gdb.py is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. This patch silences ldconfig on GDB Python files by checking filenames with -gdb.py suffix. [BZ #18585] * elf/readlib.c (is_gdb_python_file): New. (process_file): Don't issue errors on filenames with -gdb.py suffix. --- elf/readlib.c | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'elf') diff --git a/elf/readlib.c b/elf/readlib.c index 5c14a42b9d..7fd5b8afbf 100644 --- a/elf/readlib.c +++ b/elf/readlib.c @@ -63,6 +63,13 @@ static struct known_names known_libs[] = }; +/* Check if string corresponds to a GDB Python file. */ +static bool +is_gdb_python_file (const char *name) +{ + size_t len = strlen (name); + return len > 7 && strcmp (name + len - 7, "-gdb.py") == 0; +} /* Returns 0 if everything is ok, != 0 in case of error. */ int @@ -157,7 +164,8 @@ process_file (const char *real_file_name, const char *file_name, beginning of the file. */ size_t len = MIN (statbuf.st_size, 512); if (memmem (file_contents, len, "GROUP", 5) == NULL - && memmem (file_contents, len, "GNU ld script", 13) == NULL) + && memmem (file_contents, len, "GNU ld script", 13) == NULL + && !is_gdb_python_file (file_name)) error (0, 0, _("%s is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.\n"), file_name); ret = 1; -- cgit v1.2.1
