Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:
List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'
Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
On RHEL5, I got:
util/virrandom.c:66: warning: nested extern declaration of '_gl_verify_function66' [-Wnested-externs]
The fix is to hoist the verify earlier. Also some other hodge-podge
fixes I noticed while reviewing Dan's recent series.
* .gitignore: Ignore new test.
* src/util/cgroup.c: Bump copyright year.
* src/util/virhash.c: Fix typo in description.
* src/util/virrandom.c (virRandomBits): Mark doc comment, and
hoist assert to silence older gcc.
Recent discussions have illustrated the potential for DOS attacks
with the hash table implementations used by most languages and
libraries.

libvirt has an internal hash table impl, and uses hash tables for
a variety of purposes. The hash key generation code is pretty
simple and thus not strongly collision resistant.
This patch replaces the current libvirt hash key generator with
the (public domain) Murmurhash3 code. In addition every hash
table now gets a random seed value which is used to perturb the
hashing code. This should make it impossible to mount any
practical attack against libvirt hashing code.
* bootstrap.conf: Import bitrotate module
* src/Makefile.am: Add virhashcode.[ch]
* src/util/util.c: Make virRandom() return a fixed 32 bit
integer value.
* src/util/hash.c, src/util/hash.h, src/util/cgroup.c: Replace
hash code generation with a call to virHashCodeGen()
* src/util/virhashcode.h, src/util/virhashcode.c: Add a new
virHashCodeGen() API using the Murmurhash3 algorithm.
In preparation for the patch to include Murmurhash3, which
introduces a virhashcode.h and virhashcode.c files, rename
the existing hash.h and hash.c to virhash.h and virhash.c
respectively.
