The format specifier for the LoadOptions field of the LoadedImage protocol
is "%s". However, the data in LoadOptions is often generic binary data. A
format specifier of "%x" is more appropriate for this field.
Using "dh -v" with format specifier "%s" on BIOS images based on EDK II
source before commit 891d844 can cause a crash.

Jeff,
Perhaps a better approach is to print *all* the LoadOptions data as hex bytes?
In addition, one might first analyze the LoadOptions data, and, when apropos,
print obvious strings as strings?
Regards,
Jim

Please disregard the earlier "Confidential" text. The stupid plug-in that adds this
does not show the text in the mail when it is composed in text mode, so I often
forget to turn this "feature" off when posting. Sorry.

Jim,
I agree that those are good ideas. However, such an implementation would
still crash on a BIOS built against the EDK II before commit 891d844. I
think it might be best to resolve the crash with the simple patch I have
made, and defer your suggestions for now.
Regards,
Jeff

My point was that printing one byte of the data as hex is not much better (as far
as avoiding the crash is concerned) than simply not printing the data at all. If
we are just trying to avoid the crash, printing nothing is even simpler.
If the correct representation is hex bytes, fine; but why print only 1 of them
and not all of them?

I think that the long term solution may improve upon this one, but if the data is hex, then printing in hex at all would seem to be the logical first step.

Using "%s" tries to print the data as text, but crashes if the pointer
to that data is garbage. Using "%x" just prints the value of the pointer,
whether it's valid or not. It doesn't print any of the actual data.

Printing the address and size seems ok. Then one could use dmem, for
example, to dump the actual data.
