Some compilers aren't happy when an automatically freed variable is used just to free something (thus it's only assigned in the code): When compiling qemuSnapshotDelete after recent commits they complain: ../src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c:3153:61: error: variable 'delData' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable] g_autoslist(qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalData) delData = NULL; ^ To work around the issue we can restructure the code which also has the following semantic implications: - since qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalPrepare does validation we error out sooner than attempting to start the VM - we read the temporary variable at least in one code path Fixes: 4a4d89a9252 Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> --- src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c b/src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c index 32f7011cbe..b8416808b3 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_snapshot.c @@ -3146,12 +3146,13 @@ qemuSnapshotDelete(virDomainObj *vm, if (virDomainSnapshotIsExternal(snap) && !(flags & (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN | VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN_ONLY))) { + g_autoslist(qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalData) tmpData = NULL; - externalData = qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalPrepare(vm, snap); + /* this also serves as validation whether the snapshot can be deleted */ + if (!(tmpData = qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalPrepare(vm, snap))) + goto endjob; if (!virDomainObjIsActive(vm)) { - g_autoslist(qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalData) delData = NULL; - if (qemuProcessStart(NULL, driver, vm, NULL, VIR_ASYNC_JOB_SNAPSHOT, NULL, -1, NULL, NULL, VIR_NETDEV_VPORT_PROFILE_OP_CREATE, @@ -3163,20 +3164,19 @@ qemuSnapshotDelete(virDomainObj *vm, /* Call the prepare again as some data require that the VM is * running to get everything we need. */ - delData = g_steal_pointer(&externalData); - externalData = qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalPrepare(vm, snap); + if (!(externalData = qemuSnapshotDeleteExternalPrepare(vm, snap))) + goto endjob; } else { qemuDomainJobPrivate *jobPriv = vm->job->privateData; + externalData = g_steal_pointer(&tmpData); + /* If the VM is running we need to indicate that the async snapshot * job is snapshot delete job. */ jobPriv->snapshotDelete = true; qemuDomainSaveStatus(vm); } - - if (!externalData) - goto endjob; } } -- 2.38.1
