There's this problem on the recent gcc-6.1: In file included from conf/domain_conf.c:37:0: conf/domain_conf.c: In function 'virDomainChrPreAlloc': conf/domain_conf.c:14109:35: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference] return VIR_REALLOC_N(*arrPtr, *cntPtr + 1); ^~ ./util/viralloc.h:158:73: note: in definition of macro 'VIR_REALLOC_N' # define VIR_REALLOC_N(ptr, count) virReallocN(&(ptr), sizeof(*(ptr)), (count), \ ^~~~~ conf/domain_conf.c: In function 'virDomainChrRemove': conf/domain_conf.c:14133:21: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference] for (i = 0; i < *cntPtr; i++) { ^~~~~~~ GCC basically fails to see, that the virDomainChrGetDomainPtrsInternal will never actually return NULL because it's never called over a domain char device with _LAST type. But to make it shut up, lets turn this function into returning an integer and check in the callers if a zero value value was returned.
