It took me a while to follow this logic, but it is correct. On the other hand, if you initialize ret to -1 where it is declared, then you don't have to assign it at both virReportOOMError() points, and you don't have to trace through the entire flow to ensure that you never reach error: with it unassigned. > error: Also, it might be worth tweaking this to cleanup: instead of error:, now that we also execute it on success paths. > if (cpus) { > for (i = 0; i< count; i++) > VIR_FREE(cpus[i]); > + VIR_FREE(cpus); > } > - VIR_FREE(cpus); > - return -1; > + return ret; > } > > int ACK - what you have is correct, although you might want to squash in my nits before pushing. No v3 necessary.
