And yet again - the code is bugfree. If virCommandNewArgList returns
NULL, this is passed to virStorageBackendSheepdogAddHostArg() which
operates then with virCommand* API. This API is perfectly comfortable
with working over NULL. That is, so we can have:
cmd = virCommmandNew*(blah, blah, ....);
virCommand*(cmd, ...); /* repeated multiple times */
if (virCommandRun(cmd, NULL) < 0) {
printf("Ouch!");
goto cleanup;
}
instead of:
cmd = virCommandNew*(blah, blah, ...);
if (!cmd)
goto cleanup;
if (virCommand*(cmd, ...) < 0)
goto cleanup;
if (virCommand*(cmd, ...) < 0)
goto cleanup;
if (virCommand*(cmd, ...) < 0)
goto cleanup;
if (virCommandRun(cmd, ...) < 0) {
printf("Ouch!");
goto cleanup;
}
If you want to dig into libvirt code I'd recommend going though our HACKING:
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html
and generating tags for the code (ctags -R .) so whenever you open a
file in your editor you can easily jump to a function you cursor is at.
That is: in this case, if you run with cursor over the line number 123
and press CTRL + ] in vim (I bet there are plenty of emacs users who
will contribute with their hotkey for this) vim takes you to the
function definition so you can see what it actually does. And if you
apply this process twice it will get you to the virCommand*
implementation where you'll see NULL check at the beginning of each API
(if not, *that's* a real bug).
Happy hacking!
Michal
