A lot of users of virObjectUnlock() use it this way: if (obj) virObjectUnlock(obj); And while passing NULL is not harmless, it generates a warning like virObjectUnlock:340 : Object 0x0 ((unknown)) is not a virObjectLockable instance To make this function usage simplier, check if argument is not NULL before calling virObjectIsClass() and allow caller not to care about that. --- src/util/virobject.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/util/virobject.c b/src/util/virobject.c index 6cb84b4..19e1268 100644 --- a/src/util/virobject.c +++ b/src/util/virobject.c @@ -335,6 +335,9 @@ void virObjectUnlock(void *anyobj) { virObjectLockablePtr obj = anyobj; + if (!obj) + return; + if (!virObjectIsClass(obj, virObjectLockableClass)) { VIR_WARN("Object %p (%s) is not a virObjectLockable instance", obj, obj ? obj->parent.klass->name : "(unknown)"); -- 1.9.0 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
