Sorry, I don't follow, the code at nm.c:1278 says: /* Duplicate an fd for dwfl_report_offline to swallow. */ int dwfl_fd = dup (fd); if (likely (dwfl_fd >= 0)) And then the code tracks whether the dwfl_report_offline call is executed successfully and otherwise closed dwfl_fd. Specifically the code does: if (dwfl_report_offline (dwfl, fname, fname, dwfl_fd) == NULL) { /* Consumed on success, not on failure. */ close (dwfl_fd); } The dwfl_report functions are documented as "On success, FD is consumed by the library". Which means fd is freed/closed when dwfl_end is called. > Found by RASU JSC. > > Signed-off-by: Maks Mishin <maks.mishi...@gmail.com> > --- > src/nm.c | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/src/nm.c b/src/nm.c > index 3675f59b..fee397dd 100644 > --- a/src/nm.c > +++ b/src/nm.c > @@ -1521,6 +1521,8 @@ show_symbols (int fd, Ebl *ebl, GElf_Ehdr *ehdr, > } > if (dwfl != NULL) > dwfl_end (dwfl); > + if (dwfl_fd != NULL) > + close(dwfl_fd); > } So this would double close dwfl_fd. Also dwfl_fd is an int (file descriptor) and so shouldn't be compared to NULL, but checked as above (dwfl_fd >= 0).
