By default, pahole will display the offsets of the inner struct members from
the top level struct. If the user wants to focus on some inner structs, just
call the tool with the -r option to use relative offset instead of the base
offset.

So that we can go on adding more config knobs without requiring adding new

1. if the first member is a bitfield, we have to have set current_bitfield_size to 0
prior to entering the loop.
2. If sizeof(last member) == 0, don't try to move it

Confusing huh? Think about ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp, and you'll get the
idea, look at this patch inline comment to understand the issue.

E.g. in struct net_device when moving sysfs_groups[3] to after reg_state,
sizeof(sisfs_groups[3]) is 24 and the hole found after some reorganizing after
reg_state is 80 bytes, so align it just after reg_state, not 8 bytes after it.

Now there is a cus__loadfl function that receives the tool argp tables and uses
libdwfl to process the DWARF info, with this RELA objects such as .o and .ko
files in a Linux kernel build are supported, and all the other goodies that
come from using libdwfl, such as separate debuginfo files, etc come as a bonus.
Now to convert the tools, pahole being the first, that already works well using
cus__loadfl().

So gcc combined a uint16_t + a uint8_t + the first entries in the uint32_t
bitfield that could fit in the 8 bits after the first two fields but haven't
updated the size of the bitfield (4) and wrote 0 as the offset, warn about such
inconsistencies.

So that we print the boundary after the last member in a bitfield.

For now it does all typedef expansions, which in at least the base types may be
a bit too much, e.g. u32 -> unsigned long int, lets see if somebody complains,
perhaps even myself 8) If that is the case we can add yet another command line
option to specify that such base type expansions should be filtered out, making
the expand_types parameter be flag mask, not just a boolean as it is today.
To see a more complete output look at:

So that we get rid of all the buffer limits, if we need to format into strings
we can use string streams, like we're doing now in just one case, tag__name for
DW_TAG_subroutine_type, that is bogus as it is, as we need to have the name of
the type inside the type declaration (void (*type_name)(parameters)) and not
after (void (*)(parameters) type_name)), but leave this for an upcoming cset.

Will be used in ctracer to create a struct subset with just the types for which
we have "collectors", i.e. functions that reduce complex types to base types
that will be put in the mini-struct, that will be as tightly packed as it can
be.
