I tried adding --name=virHashFree to the useless_free_options variable in cfg.mk, to see if that would prevent regressions. However, it appears that this two-argument free-like function is not picked up by the heuristics in the useless-if-before-free script (it only works on one-argument functions).
Right. useless-if-before-free deliberately detects only one-argument free-like functions.
An even better idea - as long as we're improving hash.h, why not fix things to pass the destructor in the Create call, rather than the Free call. Then freeing is a one-argument operation, using the destructor callback registered inside the virHash object, rather than a two-argument operation requiring the caller to pass in the destructor. At which point, we've defined away the problem of useless-if-before-free.
Yes, that makes alot more sense as an API design Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
