From 4cc49d4dc82a39a542a31c1f51ead08a46fd33f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 00:06:54 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: use XSI-complaint version of strerror_r() instead of GNU-specific MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Perf uses GNU-specific version of strerror_r(). The GNU-specific strerror_r() returns a pointer to a string containing the error message. This may be either a pointer to a string that the function stores in buf, or a pointer to some (immutable) static string (in which case buf is unused). In glibc-2.16 GNU version was marked with attribute warn_unused_result. It triggers few warnings in perf: util/target.c: In function ‘perf_target__strerror’: util/target.c:114:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] ui/browsers/hists.c: In function ‘hist_browser__dump’: ui/browsers/hists.c:981:13: error: ignoring return value of ‘strerror_r’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] They are bugs. Let's fix strerror_r() usage. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
