fixing, that way no breakage would have happened. Ok. I trimmed commit log and applied here:https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/commit/?id=1fd450f99272791df8ea8e1b0f5657678e118e90quoted
What about your other fix and my suggestion there? (__u64) cast instead of PRI ? We do this already in two places: libbpf.c: shdr_idx, (__u64)sym->st_value); libbpf.c: (__u64)sym.st_value,GELF_ST_TYPE(sym.st_info),quoted
I'm using the smartphone now, but I thought you first suggested usinga cast to long, if you mean using %llu + cast to __u64, then should be was ugly as using PRI, IOW, should work on both 64 bit and 32 bit. :-) Yes. I suggested (long) first, but then found two cases in libbpf that solve this with (__u64), so better to stick to that for consistency.If it's already being used elsewhere in lubbpf, it was tested already with the build containers and since nobody complained, go with it :-)
Ok. Pushed this fix: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf.git/commit/?id=7c3977d1e80401b1a25efded698b05d60ee26e31 Likely will send PR for bpf tree to Dave tomorrow.
