The idomatic C way works well, I don't see a reason to use QEMU_NEW().
It works as long as you don't make any mistakes: f = qemu_malloc(sizeof(*g)); f = qemu_malloc(sizeof(f)); qemu_malloc() returns a void pointer, these are poisonous. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
