In btf_dump_array_data(), libbpf will call btf_dump_dump_type_data() for
each element. For an array of characters, each element will be
processed the following way:
- btf_dump_dump_type_data() is called to print the character
- btf_dump_data_pfx() prefixes the current line with the proper number
of indentations
- btf_dump_int_data() is called to print the character
- After the last character is printed, btf_dump_dump_type_data() calls
btf_dump_data_pfx() before writing the closing bracket
However, for an array containing characters, btf_dump_int_data() won't
print any '\0' and subsequent characters. This leads to situations where
the line prefix is written, no character is added, then the prefix is
written again before adding the closing bracket:
(struct sk_metadata){
.str_array = (__u8[14])[
'H',
'e',
'l',
'l',
'o',
],
This change solves this issue by printing the '\0' character, which
has two benefits:
- The bracket closing the array is properly aligned
- It's clear from a user point of view that libbpf uses '\0' as a
terminator for arrays of characters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
