I was afraid of this. So "fixing" the test highlights another problem. It's pretty clear to me that the whole point of this test is to test the preservation of the internal \0, as distinct from the separate strings later in there. So, this is exercising an edge case of the typing markers we now add. Now.. personally, I've never been particularly convinced that the type preservation stuff was a particularly good idea. It will never be perfect, and it can give a misleading impression that information is preserved into the dtb which isn't. But, it's pretty well established now, and I assume people had reasons for wanting it. So, your patch makes things nicer when going from dtb -> dts, but breaks an established feature when going dts -> dts, or dts -> yaml. So, I think we need to rethink. Rather than changing how "strings" are emitted, I think you want to change how we guess typing information when coming from dtb: instead of just putting a single string marker on the property, we should put one after every \0 and we should get the output you're after. > a-phandle: [[!phandle 0x1]] > a-phandle-with-args: [[!phandle 0x1, 0x0, 0x1], [!phandle 0x1, 0x2, 0x3]] > subsubnode: > diff --git a/tests/type-preservation.dts b/tests/type-preservation.dts > index 921ea21172d1..443424dc28ec 100644 > --- a/tests/type-preservation.dts > +++ b/tests/type-preservation.dts > @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ > int16-matrix = /bits/ 16 <0x1234 0x5678>, <0x90ab 0xcdef>; > int64 = /bits/ 64 <0x200000000>; > int64-array = /bits/ 64 <0x100000000 0x00> int64_array_label_end:; > - a-string-with-nulls = "foo\0bar", "baz"; > + a-string-array = "foo", "bar", "baz"; > a-phandle = <&subsub1>; > a-phandle-with-args = <&subsub1 0x00 0x01>, <&subsub1 0x02 0x03>; > > diff --git a/treesource.c b/treesource.c > index 33fedee82d58..de30188189fb 100644 > --- a/treesource.c > +++ b/treesource.c > @@ -87,7 +87,7 @@ static void write_propval_string(FILE *f, const char *s, size_t len) > fprintf(f, "\\\""); > break; > case '\0': > - fprintf(f, "\\0"); > + fprintf(f, "\", \""); > break; > default: > if (isprint((unsigned char)c)) -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
