From c454756f47277b651ad41a5a163499294529e35d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leonard Crestez Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:34:16 -0700 Subject: scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: cast log_buf to void* for addr fetch In some cases it is possible for the str() conversion here to throw encoding errors because log_buf might not point to valid ascii. For example: (gdb) python print str(gdb.parse_and_eval("log_buf")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in position 24: ordinal not in range(128) Avoid this by explicitly casting to (void *) inside the gdb expression.
