tools lib traceevent: Zero should not be considered "not found" in eval_flag()
Guilherme Cox found that: There is, however, a potential bug if there is an item with code zero that is not the first one in the symbol list, since eval_flag(..) returns 0 when it doesn't find anything. That is, if you have the following enums: enum { FOO_START = 0, FOO_GO = 1, FOO_END = 2 } and then have: __print_symbolic(foo, FOO_GO, "go", FOO_START, "start", FOO_END, "end") If none of the enums are known to pevent, then eval_flag() will return zero, and it will match it to the first item in the list, which would be FOO_GO, which is not zero. Luckily, in most cases, the first element would be zero, and the parsing would match out of sheer luck.
