From: Gleb Natapov on
The script below demonstrate this. The problem is in
hist_entry__parse_objdump_line():

if (*tmp) {
/*
* Parse hexa addresses followed by ':'
*/
line_ip = strtoull(tmp, &tmp2, 16);
if (*tmp2 != ':' || tmp == tmp2)
line_ip = -1;
}

strtoull() returns valid number when it gets line with label and following
test passes too. I can't think of a way to unambiguously distinguish between
label and valid rip. May be running objdump with --prefix-addresses will
help, but it may make other thing unambiguous.

=== script ===
cat > test.c << EOF
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i;

while(1) {
i++;
if (i == 10000000)
goto add;
}
add:
return 0;
}
EOF
