We can exploit the fact that gcc warns about int-to-pointer conversion in ternary cond?(void*):(int) in order to prevent future mistakes of calling VIR_FREE on a scalar lvalue. For example, between commits 158ba873 and 802e2df, we would have had this warning: cc1: warnings being treated as errors remote.c: In function 'remoteDispatchListNetworks': remote.c:3684:70: error: pointer/integer type mismatch in conditional expression There are still a number of places that malloc into a const char*; while it would probably be worth scrubbing them to use char* instead, that is a separate patch, so we have to cast away const in VIR_FREE for now. * src/util/memory.h (VIR_FREE): Make gcc warn about integers. Iteratively developed from a patch by Christophe Fergeau.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
