The stop variable is a char*, so use "\0" when assigning to it, rather than attempting to assign a character type. This was generating a warning when compiling with clang.

stop = "\0"; sscanf(line, "%lx", &start); sscanf(end_addr, "%lx", &end);I'm probably missing something, but what is the stop variable supposed to do here? It's completely unused, no?
if (!strchr(end_addr, ' ')) { printf("cannot parse /proc/self/maps\n"); goto out; }
Yes it is! I certainly had tunnel vision on that one. I've changed the patch to simply delete that line, for v2, thanks.
I guess it wanted to do "*stop = '\0'" but it just didn't matter a lot since the sscanf() just worked..
Maybe, yes. Hard to tell the original intent at this point...it might have been used in an early draft version of the loop that didn't get posted, perhaps.
I'm pretty sure of it.. see the pattern:
end_addr = strchr(line, '-'); if (!end_addr) { printf("cannot parse /proc/self/maps\n"); goto out; } *end_addr = '\0';
And...
stop = strchr(end_addr, ' '); if (!stop) { printf("cannot parse /proc/self/maps\n"); goto out; } stop = '\0'; <------------------- only diff here
