Subject: /usr/share/clang/scan-build-8/bin/scan-build: scan-build fails to find scan-view

Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2019 16:12:23 -0400

Package: clang-tools-8
Version: 1:8.0.1-3+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/clang/scan-build-8/bin/scan-build
Control: affects -1 src:wireguard

I'm running scan-build as part of "make check" in src/ of the
wireguard package.  It terminates with this message:

    Use of uninitialized value $ScanView in exec at /usr/bin/scan-build line 1920.
    Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/scan-build line 1920.

As far as i can tell, this is due to weird path shenanigans:

   1917       my $ScanView = Cwd::realpath("$RealBin/scan-view");
   1918       if (! -x $ScanView) { $ScanView = "scan-view"; }
   1919       if (! -x $ScanView) { $ScanView = Cwd::realpath("$RealBin/../../scan-view/bin/scan-view"); }
   1920       exec $ScanView, "$Options{OutputDir}";

Note that debian puts these binaries in places that don't necessarily
line up with the above due to injected version numbers:

0 dkg@alice:~$ for x in build view; do printf '%s: %s\n' scan-$x $(readlink -f $(which scan-$x) ); done
scan-build: /usr/share/clang/scan-build-8/bin/scan-build
scan-view: /usr/share/clang/scan-view-8/bin/scan-view
0 dkg@alice:~$ 

Can't it just search in $PATH?

Thanks for maintaining clang-tools in debian!
