Is the initial value for the 2nd argument really needed? The current QEMU code sometimes uses initialization, but not always (see the code above, for example), so it is confusing. Otherwise the patch is ok. It fixes memory leaks, therefore it should be added to QEMU 1.1.

For an output visitor (native-to-<QMP/String/etc>), we assume we're getting a pointer to a valid string, and generally treat NULL as an indication to generate an empty string, so the initial value matters in that case. For that situation the changes would be warranted. But for an input visitor (<QMP/String/etc>-to-native) like we're using in the setters this patch modifies, the initial value gets clobbered with a pointer to whatever the visitor allocates, so initializing the pointers isn't neccessary. > > Otherwise the patch is ok.

As you say, for an input visitor we dont need to initialize the pointer. "visit_type_str" in set_mac function and set_pci_devfn function is a input visitor, it points to "qmp_input_type_str", if qmp_input_type_str failed, it will alloc a Error struct and return. So, i think it doesnt matter whether initializing it or not in this situation. But the str must be freed to avoid memory leak 2012/5/15 Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 09:36:36PM +0200, Stefan Weil wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Am 03.05.2012 10:34, schrieb dunrong huang: > > >The str allocated in visit_type_str was not freed > > > > > >Signed-off-by: dunrong huang <riegamaths@gmail.com> > > >--- > > >hw/qdev-properties.c | 8 ++++++-- > > >1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > > > > >diff --git a/hw/qdev-properties.c b/hw/qdev-properties.c > > >index 98dd06a..8088699 100644 > > >--- a/hw/qdev-properties.c > > >+++ b/hw/qdev-properties.c > > >@@ -726,7 +726,7 @@ static void set_mac(Object *obj, Visitor *v, > > >void *opaque, > > >MACAddr *mac = qdev_get_prop_ptr(dev, prop); > > >Error *local_err = NULL; > > >int i, pos; > > >- char *str, *p; > > >+ char *str = NULL, *p; > > > > Is this change really needed? > > > > > > > >if (dev->state != DEV_STATE_CREATED) { > > >error_set(errp, QERR_PERMISSION_DENIED); > > >@@ -753,10 +753,12 @@ static void set_mac(Object *obj, Visitor *v, > > >void *opaque, > > >} > > >mac->a[i] = strtol(str+pos, &p, 16); > > >} > > >+ g_free(str); > > >return; > > > > > >inval: > > >error_set_from_qdev_prop_error(errp, EINVAL, dev, prop, str); > > >+ g_free(str); > > >} > > > > > >PropertyInfo qdev_prop_macaddr = { > > >@@ -825,7 +827,7 @@ static void set_pci_devfn(Object *obj, Visitor > > >*v, void *opaque, > > >uint32_t *ptr = qdev_get_prop_ptr(dev, prop); > > >unsigned int slot, fn, n; > > >Error *local_err = NULL; > > >- char *str = (char *)""; > > >+ char *str = NULL; > > > > As far as I could see, str does not need an initial value, so > > neither the old nor the new code is optimal (both versions do > > work). > > > > > > > >if (dev->state != DEV_STATE_CREATED) { > > >error_set(errp, QERR_PERMISSION_DENIED); > > >@@ -847,10 +849,12 @@ static void set_pci_devfn(Object *obj, > > >Visitor *v, void *opaque, > > >goto invalid; > > >} > > >*ptr = slot << 3 | fn; > > >+ g_free(str); > > >return; > > > > > >invalid: > > >error_set_from_qdev_prop_error(errp, EINVAL, dev, prop, str); > > >+ g_free(str); > > >} > > > > > >static int print_pci_devfn(DeviceState *dev, Property *prop, char > > >*dest, size_t len) > > > > Maybe some expert (Michael Roth?) can comment on the correct > > usage of visit_type_str. > > > > Is the initial value for the 2nd argument really needed? > > The current QEMU code sometimes uses initialization, > > but not always (see the code above, for example), so it is confusing. > > For an output visitor (native-to-<QMP/String/etc>), we assume we're > getting a pointer to a valid string, and generally treat NULL as an > indication > to generate an empty string, so the initial value matters in that case. > For that situation the changes would be warranted. > > But for an input visitor (<QMP/String/etc>-to-native) like we're using in > the > setters this patch modifies, the initial value gets clobbered with a > pointer > to whatever the visitor allocates, so initializing the pointers isn't > neccessary. > > > > > Otherwise the patch is ok.
