Now that we've finally fixed all the violators, it's time to
enforce that any pointer to a const object is never freed (it
is aliasing some other memory, where the non-const original
should be freed instead). Alas, the code still needs a normal
vs. Coverity version, but at least we are still guaranteeing
that the macro call evaluates its argument exactly once.
I verified that we still get the following compiler warnings,
which in turn halts the build thanks to -Werror on gcc (hmm,
gcc 4.8.3's placement of the ^ for ?: type mismatch is a bit
off, but that's not our problem):
int oops1 = 0;
VIR_FREE(oops1);
const char *oops2 = NULL;
VIR_FREE(oops2);
struct blah { int dummy; } oops3;
VIR_FREE(oops3);
util/virauthconfig.c:159:35: error: pointer/integer type mismatch in conditional expression [-Werror]
VIR_FREE(oops1);
^
util/virauthconfig.c:161:5: error: passing argument 1 of 'virFree' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]
VIR_FREE(oops2);

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.
