-Wformat-truncation
Than one warns when snprintf could be truncated:
eg
char a[10];
char b[10];
char c[15];
..
snprintf(c, sizeof(c), "%s%s", a, b);
This sometimes triggers warning also with "sizeof(c) - 1" when c is either
memset before or last byte being explicitly set to '\0' after snprintf.
Also, sometimes we are fine if resulting string is left unterminated eg
when filling in mgmt commands or struct sockaddr with paths and/or names.
Some could be change to memcpy + strlen (possibly after getting min size from
both buffers) or we could adjust buffers to make those go away.
-Wstringop-truncation
This is pretty match the same as above but for strncpy and family.
Also here, some could be change to memcpy + strlen. Or even better don't use
strncpy at all and have own implementation of strlcpy.
-Wcast-function-type
Warn when a function pointer is cast to an incompatible function pointer.
We often cast function pointers with g_slist_foreach or queue call to avoid
need for having wrappers. This seems to be fine as along as casted function
doesn't expect more parameters than type it is casted to. To fix those we
would have to always wrap eg:
+static void update_adapter_cb(gpointer data, gpointer user_data)
+{
+ struct hdp_adapter *hdp_adapter = data;
+
+ update_adapter(hdp_adapter);
+}
+
static void remove_application(struct hdp_application *app)
{
DBG("Application %s deleted", app->path);
hdp_application_unref(app);
- g_slist_foreach(adapters, (GFunc) update_adapter, NULL);
+ g_slist_foreach(adapters, update_adapter_cb, NULL);
}
