We are getting following warnings on gcc8 that break compilation: $ make CC jvmti/jvmti_agent.o jvmti/jvmti_agent.c: In function ‘jvmti_open’: jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:252:35: error: ‘/jit-’ directive output may be truncated \ writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4096 [-Werror=format-truncation=] snprintf(dump_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/jit-%i.dump", jit_path, getpid());
There's no point in checking the result of snprintf call in jvmti_open, the following open call will fail in case the name is mangled or too long. Using tool's function scnprintf that touches the return value from the snprintf calls and thus get rid of those warnings. $ make DEBUG=1 CC arch/x86/util/perf_regs.o arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function ‘arch_sdt_arg_parse_op’: arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:229:4: error: ‘strncpy’ output truncated before terminating nul copying 2 bytes from a string of the same length [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(prefix, "+0", 2); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using scnprintf instead of the strncpy (which we know is safe in here) to get rid of that warning.
