Neat.

I'm definitely nitpicking, but having a tab to separate these two 32-bit values feels odd when we know already that they will be at most 10-characters wide.

I probably would have written:
    printf("%10"PRIu32" %10"PRIu32"\t%s\n", name_hash, full_hash, line.buf);
instead, but this is obviously not a big deal either way ;-).

Does this conflict with Patrick's series to remove these leak checking annotations? I think it might, which is not unexpected given this series was written before that one (and it's my fault for not reviewing it earlier).

In these two (and a handful of others lower down in this same script) the "cat ... |" is unnecessary. I think this one should be written as:

    test-tool name-hash <path-list >name-hashes &&
    awk "{ print \$1; }" <name-hashes | sort | uniq -c >name-hash-count &&

(sort -n is unnecessary, since we just care about getting the list in sorted order so that "uniq -c" can count the number of unique values).

Nitpicking again, but you could extract the "sort | head | awk" pipeline into a function.

Thanks, Taylor
