Because:
struct symbol {
struct rb_node rb_node;
u64 start;
u64 end;
u16 namelen;
<SNIP>
char name[0];
};
It sym->name is not a pointer, in symbol's constructor we have:
struct symbol *symbol__new(u64 start, u64 len, u8 binding, u8 type, const char *name)
{
size_t namelen = strlen(name) + 1;
struct symbol *sym = calloc(1, (symbol_conf.priv_size +
sizeof(*sym) + namelen));
if (sym == NULL)
return NULL;
<SNIP>
sym->namelen = namelen - 1;
memcpy(sym->name, name, namelen);
return sym;
}
So it is at least 1 char long, the test above should be:
if (!sym || !sym->name[0])
return scnprintf(bf, size, "%s", "[unknown]");
I'm fixing this up here.
