[PATCH 5/5] VIR_ALLOC: Replace internals by g_clear_pointer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Our implementation masks GCC warnings of uninitialized use of the passed
argument. After changing this I got a load of following warnings:

src/conf/virnetworkportdef.c: In function 'virNetworkPortDefSaveStatus':
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmem.h:136:8: error: 'path' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  136 |     if (_p)                \
      |        ^
src/conf/virnetworkportdef.c:447:11: note: 'path' was declared here
  447 |     char *path;
      |           ^~~~

For the curious, g_clear_pointer is still safe for arguments with
side-effect. Here's the post-processed output of trying to do a
VIR_FREE(*(test2++)):

 do {
     typedef char _GStaticAssertCompileTimeAssertion_1[(sizeof *(&(*(test2++))) == sizeof (gpointer)) ? 1 : -1] __attribute__((__unused__));
     __typeof__((&(*(test2++)))) _pp = (&(*(test2++)));
     __typeof__(*(&(*(test2++)))) _ptr = *_pp;

     *_pp = ((void *)0);
     if (_ptr)
        (g_free) (_ptr);
 } while (0) ;
