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. I backed out two changes made by the Coccinelle script: scripts/coverity-scan/model.c, because that's special, and semihosting/config.c, because it has a typing error similar to the one fixed in PATCH 2, and Alex already posted a patch for it. v2: * PATCH 3: Change to scripts/coverity-scan/model.c dropped [Eric] * PATCH 3: Change to semihosting/config.c dropped [Alex] * Commit messages tweaked Markus Armbruster (3): scripts/coccinelle: New use-g_new-etc.cocci 9pfs: Use g_new() & friends where that makes obvious sense Use g_new() & friends where that makes obvious sense scripts/coccinelle/use-g_new-etc.cocci | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/qemu/timer.h | 2 +- accel/kvm/kvm-all.c | 6 +- accel/tcg/tcg-accel-ops-mttcg.c | 2 +- accel/tcg/tcg-accel-ops-rr.c | 4 +- audio/audio.c | 4 +- audio/audio_legacy.c | 6 +- audio/dsoundaudio.c | 2 +- audio/jackaudio.c | 6 +- audio/paaudio.c | 4 +- backends/cryptodev.c | 2 +- contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu.c | 2 +- cpus-common.c | 4 +- dump/dump.c | 2 +- hw/9pfs/9p-proxy.c | 2 +- hw/9pfs/9p-synth.c | 4 +- hw/9pfs/9p.c | 8 +-- hw/9pfs/codir.c | 6 +- hw/acpi/hmat.c | 2 +- hw/audio/intel-hda.c | 2 +- hw/char/parallel.c | 2 +- hw/char/riscv_htif.c | 2 +- hw/char/virtio-serial-bus.c | 6 +- hw/core/irq.c | 2 +- hw/core/reset.c | 2 +- hw/display/pxa2xx_lcd.c | 2 +- hw/display/tc6393xb.c | 2 +- hw/display/virtio-gpu.c | 4 +- hw/display/xenfb.c | 4 +- hw/dma/rc4030.c | 4 +- hw/i2c/core.c | 4 +- hw/i2c/i2c_mux_pca954x.c | 2 +- hw/i386/amd_iommu.c | 4 +- hw/i386/intel_iommu.c | 2 +- hw/i386/xen/xen-hvm.c | 10 ++-- hw/i386/xen/xen-mapcache.c | 14 ++--- hw/input/lasips2.c | 2 +- hw/input/pckbd.c | 2 +- hw/input/ps2.c | 4 +- hw/input/pxa2xx_keypad.c | 2 +- hw/input/tsc2005.c | 3 +- hw/intc/riscv_aclint.c | 6 +- hw/intc/xics.c | 2 +- hw/m68k/virt.c | 2 +- hw/mips/mipssim.c | 2 +- hw/misc/applesmc.c | 2 +- hw/misc/imx6_src.c | 2 +- hw/misc/ivshmem.c | 4 +- hw/net/virtio-net.c | 4 +- hw/nvme/ns.c | 2 +- hw/pci-host/pnv_phb3.c | 2 +- hw/pci-host/pnv_phb4.c | 2 +- hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/e500.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/ppc.c | 8 +-- hw/ppc/ppc405_boards.c | 4 +- hw/ppc/ppc405_uc.c | 18 +++--- hw/ppc/ppc4xx_devs.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/ppc_booke.c | 4 +- hw/ppc/spapr.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/spapr_events.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/spapr_hcall.c | 2 +- hw/ppc/spapr_numa.c | 3 +- hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_dev_ring.c | 2 +- hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_qp_ops.c | 6 +- hw/sh4/r2d.c | 4 +- hw/sh4/sh7750.c | 2 +- hw/sparc/leon3.c | 2 +- hw/sparc64/sparc64.c | 4 +- hw/timer/arm_timer.c | 2 +- hw/timer/slavio_timer.c | 2 +- hw/vfio/pci.c | 4 +- hw/vfio/platform.c | 4 +- hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c | 2 +- hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c | 2 +- hw/virtio/virtio.c | 5 +- hw/xtensa/xtfpga.c | 2 +- linux-user/syscall.c | 2 +- migration/dirtyrate.c | 4 +- migration/multifd-zlib.c | 4 +- migration/ram.c | 2 +- monitor/misc.c | 2 +- monitor/qmp-cmds.c | 2 +- qga/commands-win32.c | 8 +-- qga/commands.c | 2 +- qom/qom-qmp-cmds.c | 2 +- replay/replay-char.c | 4 +- replay/replay-events.c | 10 ++-- softmmu/bootdevice.c | 4 +- softmmu/dma-helpers.c | 4 +- softmmu/memory_mapping.c | 2 +- target/i386/cpu-sysemu.c | 2 +- target/i386/hax/hax-accel-ops.c | 4 +- target/i386/nvmm/nvmm-accel-ops.c | 4 +- target/i386/whpx/whpx-accel-ops.c | 4 +- target/i386/whpx/whpx-all.c | 2 +- target/s390x/cpu-sysemu.c | 2 +- tests/qtest/virtio-9p-test.c | 4 +- tests/unit/test-hbitmap.c | 2 +- tests/unit/test-qmp-cmds.c | 14 ++--- tests/unit/test-qobject-output-visitor.c | 2 +- tests/unit/test-vmstate.c | 42 ++++++------- ui/vnc-enc-tight.c | 2 +- util/envlist.c | 2 +- util/hbitmap.c | 2 +- util/main-loop.c | 2 +- util/qemu-timer.c | 2 +- util/vfio-helpers.c | 4 +- 108 files changed, 282 insertions(+), 212 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/coccinelle/use-g_new-etc.cocci -- 2.35.1
