This patch adds a (macro-wrapped) sentinel attribute to functions that take a NULL-terminated variable argument list. This is a nice debugging aid. * src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL): New. * src/util/buf.c (virBufferStrcat): Use it. * src/util/ebtables.c (ebtablesAddRemoveRule): Use it. * src/util/iptables.c (iptableAddRemoveRule: Use it. * src/util/qparams.h (new_qparam_set, append_qparams): Use it. --- src/internal.h | 11 +++++++++++ src/util/buf.h | 3 ++- src/util/ebtables.c | 2 +- src/util/iptables.c | 2 +- src/util/qparams.h | 6 ++++-- 5 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/internal.h b/src/internal.h index bd1cfe6..09c19ea 100644 --- a/src/internal.h +++ b/src/internal.h @@ -93,6 +93,17 @@ #endif /** + * ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL: + * + * Macro to check for NULL-terminated varargs lists + */ +#ifndef ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL +#if __GNUC_PREREQ (4, 0) +#define ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL __attribute__((__sentinel__)) +#endif +#endif + +/** * ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF * * Macro used to check printf like functions, if compiling diff --git a/src/util/buf.h b/src/util/buf.h index 7d31cb2..94ee8a3 100644 --- a/src/util/buf.h +++ b/src/util/buf.h @@ -41,7 +41,8 @@ void virBufferAdd(const virBufferPtr buf, const char *str, int len); void virBufferAddChar(const virBufferPtr buf, char c); void virBufferVSprintf(const virBufferPtr buf, const char *format, ...)
