[PATCH v8 30/43] dyndbg: check DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_{DEFINE,USE_} args at compile-time
From: Jim Cromie via B4 Relay
Date: Sat Sep 05 2026 - 14:28:21 EST
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>
Add __DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_CHECK to implement the following
arg-checks at compile-time:
0 <= _base < 63
class_names is not empty
class_names[0] is a string
class_names.length <= 32
(class_names.length + _base) < 63
dd-map-type is known value
These compile-time checks will prevent several simple misuses, issuing
obvious errors if violated.
several bad examples are ifdef DDD_MACRO_ARGCHECK qualified, into
test_dynamic_debug_submod.ko, and will fail compilation if added to
cflags.

v5: additional test: classes.length <= 32
old-v13
reword 2 failing tests (active only when -DDD_MACRO_ARGCHECK is
passed to cc) to better identify what error is being tested against
-v12
check map-type at compile-time
make base+len(classnames) check more explicit
dyndbg-test: add more tests of compile-time CHECKs
add 3 tests of static-asserts added to 2 macros:
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_{DEFINE,USE_}
_DEFINE():
1- validates maptype,
2- validate classmap.length + base-offset < 63
_USE_():
3- validate user-offset < 63
As before, these tests fail when activated:
make KCPPFLAGS="-DDD_MACRO_ARGCHECK" lib/test_dynamic_debug_submod.o
NOTE: _USE_() cannot test classmap.length, since its a property of
the referent, not the macro itself.
dyndbg-test: verify DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_() compile-time CHECK
Add another failing use-case, this time to verify that _USE properly
rejects an offset > 62. This is an incomplete test; the proper test
is: classes.length + base + offset < 63, but the macro cannot test
classes.length at compile-time.
