perf jit: memset() variable 'st' using the correct size
The current code is memsetting the 'struct stat' variable 'st' with the size of
'stat' (which turns out to be 1 byte) rather than the size of variable 'sz'.
Committer notes:
sizeof(function) isn't valid, the result depends on the compiler used, with
gcc, enabling pedantic warnings we get:
$ cat sizeof_function.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("sizeof(stat)=%zd, stat=%p\n", sizeof(stat), stat);
return 0;
}
$ readelf -sW sizeof_function | grep -w stat
49: 0000000000400630 16 FUNC WEAK HIDDEN 13 stat
$ cc -pedantic sizeof_function.c -o sizeof_function
sizeof_function.c: In function ‘main’:
sizeof_function.c:8:46: warning: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to a function type [-Wpointer-arith]
printf("sizeof(stat)=%zd, stat=%p\n", sizeof(stat), stat);
^
$ ./sizeof_function
sizeof(stat)=1, stat=0x400630
$
Standard C, section 6.5.3.4:
"The sizeof operator shall not be applied to an expression that has function
type or an incomplete type, to the parenthesized name of such a type,
or to an expression that designates a bit-field member."
