[PATCH 0/3] Use g_new() & friends where that makes obvious

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

 



g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n).  It's also safer,
for two reasons.  One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.

This series only touches allocations with size arguments of the form
sizeof(T).  It's mechanical, except for a tiny fix in PATCH 2.

PATCH 1 adds the Coccinelle script.

PATCH 2 cleans up the virtio-9p subsystem, and fixes a harmless typing
error uncovered by the cleanup.

PATCH 3 cleans up everything else.  I started to split it up, but
splitting is a lot of decisions, and I just can't see the value.

For instance, MAINTAINERS tells me to split for subsystem "virtio",
patching

    hw/char/virtio-serial-bus.c
    hw/display/virtio-gpu.c
    hw/net/virtio-net.c
    hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c
    hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c
    hw/virtio/virtio.c

But it also tells me to split for subsystem "Character devices",
patching

    hw/char/parallel.c                       |  2 +-
    hw/char/riscv_htif.c                     |  2 +-
    hw/char/virtio-serial-bus.c              |  6 +-

and for subsystem "Network devices", patching

    hw/net/virtio-net.c

and for subsystem "virtio-gpu", patching

    hw/display/virtio-gpu.c

I guess I'd go with "virtio".  Six files down, 103 to go.  Thanks, but
no thanks.

Since the transformation is local to a function call, dropping is
completely safe.  We can deal with conflicts by dropping conflicting
hunks, with "git-pull -s recursive -X ours".  Or drop entire files
with conflicts.

If you want me to split off certain parts, please tell me exactly what
you want split off, and I'll gladly do the splitting.  I don't mind
the splitting part, I do mind the *thinking* part.
