I know this is not adequate for stack overflow question, but ..
This is a function in scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt_ro.c of u-boot v2021.10.

const void *fdt_getprop_namelen(const void *fdt, int nodeoffset,
                const char *name, int namelen, int *lenp)
{
    int poffset;
    const struct fdt_property *prop;

    printf("uuu0 nodeoffset = 0x%x, name = %s, namelen = %d\n", nodeoffset, name, namelen);
    prop = fdt_get_property_namelen_(fdt, nodeoffset, name, namelen, lenp,
                     &poffset);
    //printf("uuu1 prop = 0x%lx, *lenp = 0x%x, poffset = 0x%x\n", prop, *lenp, poffset);
    if (!prop)
        return NULL;

    /* Handle realignment */
    if (fdt_chk_version() && fdt_version(fdt) < 0x10 &&
        (poffset   sizeof(*prop)) % 8 && fdt32_to_cpu(prop->len) >= 8)
        return prop->data   4;
    return prop->data;
}

When I build the program, if I uncomment the second printf, the compiler seg-faults.
I have no idea. Is it purely compiler problem(I think so it should never die at least)? or can it be linked to my fault somewhere in another code? Is there any method to know to cause of the segfault? (probably not.).

printf("uuu1 prop = 0x%lx, *lenp = 0x%x, poffset = 0x%x\n", prop, *lenp, poffset);

1. prop is a pointer, so I'd use %p instead of %lx
2. lenp is a pointer, so I'd make sure that it points to valid memory

CodePudding user response：

If you're getting a segmentation fault when running the compiler itself, the compiler has a bug. There are some errors in your code, but those should result in compile-time diagnostics (warnings or error messages), never a compile-time crash.

The code in your question is incomplete (missing declarations for fdt_get_property_namelen_, printf, NULL, etc.). Reproduce the problem with a complete self-contained source file and submit a bug report: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/
