grep -v "file name" in the objdump command
cause a side effect eliminating filename:linenr of
output of 'objdump -l' if the object file name and
source file name are about the same so fix it.
The objdump command in symbol__disassemble() can be as below
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello --start-address=...
/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000400526 <main>:
main():
/home/taeung/hello.c:4
void main()
{
400526: 55 push %rbp
400527: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
/home/taeung/hello.c:5
...
But currently it use grep -v "file name" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello"
in the objdump command to remove the first line containing file name
and file format such as,
Before:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello
But it cause a side effect removing filename:linenr
because the object file and source file has same name
e.g. "/home/taueng/hello", "/home/taeung/hello.c"
So more exactly grep -v as below
to correctly remove the one line
e.g. "/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"
After:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello:
What environment is this? I tried to reproduce this here but got
different results, and I had to figure out the 'perf record' you used,
you forgot to mention it, i.e. 'perf record ./hello' doesn't work, one
has to use 'perf record /full/path/to/hello', anyway, with my
Sorry for my insufficient commit message.
$ objdump -v
GNU objdump (GNU Binutils) 2.28.51.20170309
...
$ pwd
/home/taeung
$ perf record ./hello
hello, world
^C[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.676 MB perf.data (17380 samples) ]
And, when running 'perf annotate',
I internally checked the full objdump command line with gdb and printf.
Here it is,
objdump --start-address=0x0000000000400526
--stop-address=0x0000000000400567 -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C
/home/taeung/hello 2>/dev/null|grep -v /home/taeung/hello|expand
If just running the command, the output is like below.
$ objdump --start-address=0x0000000000400526
--stop-address=0x0000000000400567 -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C
/home/taeung/hello 2>/dev/null|grep -v /home/taeung/hello|expand|head -16
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000400526 <main>:
main():
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
400526: push %rbp
400527: mov %rsp,%rbp
40052a: sub $0x10,%rsp
{
unsigned long long i;
As you can see, grep -v eliminate "filename:linenr"
such as /home/taeung/hello.c:3 and etc
But if running the command line without grep -v as below,
we can see "filename:linenr".
$ objdump --start-address=0x0000000000400526
--stop-address=0x0000000000400567 -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C
/home/taeung/hello 2>/dev/null|expand|head -16
/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000400526 <main>:
main():

400526: push %rbp
400527: mov %rsp,%rbp
40052a: sub $0x10,%rsp
/home/taeung/hello.c:6
So append ":" into grep -v as below.
(it is contents of my patch)
$ objdump --start-address=0x0000000000400526
--stop-address=0x0000000000400567 -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C

I'll change the commit message to be more clearly..
environemnt, which is:
[root@jouet ~]# objdump -v
GNU objdump version 2.26.1-1.fc25
I end up getting:

<SNIP>
Which looks ok, i.e. since this version of objdump puts just the basename (hello.c),
that grep doesn't nuke it.
But yeah, your patch is more robust, just fix what I described below, i.e. use
quotes in the grep -v bit, probably.

Are you sure this works as you expect? I.e. both lines will have '%s:'
Yes, if we do, we can exactly the only below line without the side
effect IMHO.
"/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"
that space just before the '|' will not be considered by grep
IIUC,
Just append ":" into grep -v leaving out " " space before the '|' ?
