bfd: Fix GCC warning when CFLAGS="-Og" is used
This patch initializes the "op" variable in skip_cfa_op() function
of bfd/elf-eh-frame.c to "0" at its declaration point to avoid the
"maybe-uninitialized" warning.
Building binutils on a system with GCC version 13.2.0 and a configure
command that sets the optimization level to "-Og" leads to a build
failure because of a warning being treated as an error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./configure CFLAGS="-Og"
$ make
...
CC elf-eh-frame.lo
/src/gdb/bfd/elf-eh-frame.c: In function 'skip_cfa_op':
/src/gdb/bfd/elf-eh-frame.c:354:33: error: 'op' may be used
uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
354 | switch (op & 0xc0 ? op & 0xc0 : op)
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~
/src/gdb/bfd/elf-eh-frame.c:348:12: note: 'op' was declared here
348 | bfd_byte op;
| ^~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The relevant code snippet related to this warning looks like:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
static inline bool
read_byte (bfd_byte **iter, bfd_byte *end, unsigned char *result)
{
if (*iter >= end)
return false;
*result = *((*iter)++);
return true;
}
static bool
skip_cfa_op (bfd_byte **iter, bfd_byte *end,...)
{
bfd_byte op;
if (!read_byte (iter, end, &op))
return false;
switch (op & 0xc0 ? op & 0xc0 : op)
...
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This warning probably happens because "-Og" results in GCC not
inlining the "read_byte()" function. Therefore, GCC treats its
invocation inside "skip_cfa_op()" like a black box and that ends
in the aforementioned warning.
