[PATCH 1/4] memory: make it safer to expand arrays

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

 



Note - I did _not_ update HACKING.  Do we have a makefile rule
for doing an auto-xsl translation from hacking.html.in yet, or
is something I'll have to do manually before pushing this?

* src/util/memory.h (VIR_REALLOC_N): Update docs.
(VIR_EXPAND_N, VIR_SHRINK_N): New macros.
(virAlloc, virAllocN, virReallocN, virAllocVar, virFree): Add some
gcc attributes.
* src/util/memory.c (virExpandN, virShrinkN): New functions.
(virReallocN): Update docs.
* docs/hacking.html.in: Prefer newer interfaces over
VIR_REALLOC_N, since uninitialized memory can bite us.

       Use of the malloc/free/realloc/calloc APIs is deprecated in the libvirt
       codebase, because they encourage a number of serious coding bugs and do
       not enable compile time verification of checks for NULL. Instead of these
