Package: binutils-common Version: 2.29.1-13 Severity: minor The nm(1) man page contains:
"B" "b" The symbol is in the uninitialized data section (known as BSS). However, this is misleading, because this section is actually initialized to zero (at least under Linux) and is used for symbols corresponding to objects initialized to zero. The man page should mention this fact, i.e. that objects initialized to zero may be found in this section. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information
