Squash coverity warning for REVERSE_INULL in dump_note_entry_p
Coverity detected a "defect" in dump_note_entry_p in linux-tdep.c: static int dump_note_entry_p (filter_flags filterflags, const struct smaps_vmflags *v, int maybe_private_p, int mapping_anon_p, int mapping_file_p, const char *filename, ULONGEST addr, ULONGEST offset) { /* vDSO and vsyscall mappings will end up in the core file. Don't put them in the NT_FILE note. */ if (strcmp ("[vdso]", filename) == 0 || strcmp ("[vsyscall]", filename) == 0) return 0; /* Otherwise, any other file-based mapping should be placed in the note. */ return filename != nullptr; } Those strcmp's will derefernce `filename' so there is little point to checking whether it is non-NULL or not; we would have already segfaulted. It also cannot be nullptr because its value is read directly from /proc/PID/maps. The "worst" it can be is an empty string. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-11-18 Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> * linux-tdep.c (dump_note_entry_p): Return true instead of checking `filename'.
