gwcheck

Description

gwcheck is a tool to check .gnu.warning.* sections in ELF object files and display their content.

For an introduction to .gnu.warning.* sections, please refer to this article.

Support for emitting linker warnings when using a symbol for which a .gnu.warning.symbol section exists is implemented in GNU linkers (ld and gold), but currently not in LLVM's LLD linker.

C libraries using this mechanism:

  • FreeBSD libc
  • NetBSD libc
  • OpenBSD libc
  • DragonFlyBSD libc
  • GNU C Library (glibc)
  • Newlib C library
  • diet libc
  • uClibc

Requirements

gwcheck requires Python 3 and the following Python module:

  • pyelftools

Usage

gwcheck [-hv] object

The options are as follows:

-h	Display usage.
-v	Display version.

Example

Here is the output of running gwcheck on OpenBSD 7.0 libc:

$ gwcheck libc.so.96.1
.gnu.warning.strcpy:
	strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy()
.gnu.warning.stpcpy:
	stpcpy() is dangerous; do not use it
.gnu.warning.wcscat:
	wcscat() is almost always misused, please use wcslcat()
.gnu.warning.sprintf:
	sprintf() is often misused, please use snprintf()
.gnu.warning.tempnam:
	tempnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
.gnu.warning.vsprintf:
	vsprintf() is often misused, please use vsnprintf()
.gnu.warning.mktemp:
	mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
.gnu.warning.strcat:
	strcat() is almost always misused, please use strlcat()
.gnu.warning.wcscpy:
	wcscpy() is almost always misused, please use wcslcpy()
.gnu.warning.rand_r:
	rand_r() is not random, it is deterministic.
.gnu.warning.rand:
	rand() may return deterministic values, is that what you want?
.gnu.warning.getwd:
	getwd() possibly used unsafely; consider using getcwd()
.gnu.warning.random:
	random() may return deterministic values, is that what you want?
.gnu.warning.tmpnam:
	tmpnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
