[PATCH v1 07/11] perf probe: Move elfutils support check to libdw check

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v1 07/11] perf probe: Move elfutils support check to libdw check
Posted by Ian Rogers 1 year, 4 months ago 
The test _ELFUTILS_PREREQ(0, 142) is false for elfutils before
2009-06-13, but that is 15 years ago and very unlikely. Add a test to
test-libdw.c and assume the libdw version is at least 0.142 to
simplify the build logic.

I think it's the same as test_libdw_getcfi() and let's get rid of it.

The point of doing the change this way, and I think what's being
ignored, is that I am trying to simply replace an #if with a clearly
equivalent feature test - clearly equivalent as the #if guards use of
dwarf_cfi_end in the code. Merging test_elfutils with
test_libdw_getcfi is another cognitive step and I think it is fine as
follow up cleanup. Combining that step with the change here fails the
minimal meaningful change and tbh I think this is just bike shedding.

Thanks,
Ian

Ok, I think it's ok to have a separate commit to combine equivalent
tests if you really want to.  What I want in the end is not to have
unnecessary or duplicate code.

In order to have a clearly equivalent feature test, I think you can add

  #if !_ELFUTILS_PREREQ(0, 142)
  #error "elfutils version is too old"
  #endif
