[lkcd-devel] cannot evaluate size of typedef datatypes in lcrash

[Michael H. <HO...@de...>]

Hi,

It looks like that lcrash of lkcdutils-6.0 is not able to print the size of
typedef datatypes. E.g. "whatis pg_data_t" works, but "sizeof pg_data_t"
fails. lcrash of lkcdutils-4.2 is able to handle typedefs so this looks
like a bug which has been introduced with the dwarf support in
lkcdutils-6.0.

The sizeof command fails for both stabs and dwarf Kerntypes:

>> whatis pg_data_t
struct pglist_data
struct pglist_data {
        struct zone node_zones[3];
...
};

>> sizeof pglist_data
Size of "pglist_data": 55552 bytes

>> sizeof pg_data_t
pg_data_t: structure/field not found.

>> sizeof cpumask_t
cpumask_t: structure/field not found.

Best Regards

       Michael
