[Crash-utility] Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] extensions: Search all possible paths

Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 11:40:03 +1300 From: Tao Liu <ltao(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: [Crash-utility] [PATCH v3 1/2] extensions: Search all possible paths To: devel(a)lists.crash-utility.osci.io Cc: lijiang(a)redhat.com Message-ID: <20251027224004.13784-2-ltao(a)redhat.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"; x-default=true Search all possible paths for extensions. Previously if one path, e.g. "/usr/lib64/crash/extensions" exists, but no extensions found within, crash will not search any later paths, e.g. "./extensions". This patch will let crash continue to search any later paths.
