[llvm] [symbolizer] Empty string is not an error (PR #92660)

[Serge Pavlov via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/spavloff created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/92660

After commit 1792852f86dc7 ([symbolizer] Change reaction on invalid input) llvm-symbolizer issues an error on malformed command instead of echoing it to the standard output, as in previous versions. It turns out this behavior broke a use case when echoing was used to check if llvm-symbolizer is working
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1792852f86dc75efa1f44d46b1a0daf386d64afa#commitcomment-142161925).

With this change an empty line as input is not considered as an error anymore and does not produce any output on stderr. llvm-symbolizer still respond on empty line with line not found, this is consistent with GNU addr2line.

Subject: [PATCH] [symbolizer] Empty string is not an error

After commit 1792852f86dc7 ([symbolizer] Change reaction on invalid
input) llvm-symbolizer issues an error on malformed command instead of
echoing it to the standard output, as in previous versions. It turns out
this behavior broke a use case when echoing was used to check if
llvm-symbolizer is working
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1792852f86dc75efa1f44d46b1a0daf386d64afa#commitcomment-142161925).

With this change an empty line as input is not considered as an error
anymore and does not produce any output on stderr. llvm-symbolizer
still respond on empty line with line not found, this is consistent with
GNU addr2line.
