Clang 3.9 refuses to compile the existing code with the
following error:
util/virfirewall.c:425:20: error: passing an object that undergoes
default argument promotion to 'va_start'
has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wvarargs]
va_start(args, layer);
^
util/virfirewall.c:420:37: note: parameter of type 'virFirewallLayer'
is declared here
virFirewallLayer layer,
^
This happens because 'layer' is of type virFirewallLayer, which
is an enum type and not a standard type such as eg. void* or int.
To solve the issue, turn virFirewallAddRule() from a very thin
wrapper around virFirewallAddRuleFullV() to a macro that expands
to a call to virFirewallAddRuleFull() - itself a very thin wrapper
around the aforementioned virFirewallAddRuleFullV() - with no loss
of functionality or type safety.
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.
