[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] tests/bios-tables-test: Compiler warning fix

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

gcc 7.1.1 in fedora 26 moans about the:
   tables = g_new0(uint32_t, tables_nr)

because it can't convince itself that tables_nr is positive.
This is fallout from g_assert_cmpint no longer necessarily being
no-return;  replace it with a plain g_assert.

IMHO your original patch was better - rsdt_table->length is an
uint32_t, and sizeof() evaluates to size_t, but we're assigning
to a local  tables_nr that is a signed int. So tables_nr would
be better declared as size_t.  That would mean the assert can
just be removed entirely, or replaced by an assert that
rsdt_table->length > sizeof(AcpiRsdtDescriptorRev1) if we're
concerned about that

Given that assert was there I'd assumed Marcel was explicitly checking
for that case, so my original hack of just making it a uint or size_t
didn't seem safe.

Checking that rsdt_table->length > sizeof(AcpiRsdtDescriptorRev1)
probably is safer; although this is only a sanity assert in a test
case, not dealing with user data, so I just made the minimal change.

I personally think is enough, since we only
want to keep gcc happy.
