Subject: [PATCHv3 05/13] scripts/gdb: Support !CONFIG_MODULES gracefully
Date: Thu,  3 Mar 2016 11:40:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457005267-843-6-git-send-email-kieran.bingham@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457005267-843-1-git-send-email-kieran.bingham@linaro.org>

If CONFIG_MODULES is not enabled, lx-lsmod tries to find
a non-existent symbol and generates an unfriendly traceback:

(gdb) lx-lsmod
Address    Module                  Size  Used by
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/gdb/linux/modules.py", line 75, in invoke
    for module in module_list():
  File "scripts/gdb/linux/modules.py", line 24, in module_list
    module_ptr_type = module_type.get_type().pointer()
  File "scripts/gdb/linux/utils.py", line 28, in get_type
    self._type = gdb.lookup_type(self._name)
gdb.error: No struct type named module.
Error occurred in Python command: No struct type named module.

Catch the error and return an empty module_list() for a clean command
output as follows:

(gdb) lx-lsmod
Address    Module                  Size  Used by
(gdb)
