Subject: [PULL for-5.0 4/5] qga: Fix undefined C behavior
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2020 11:46:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200324164653.19449-5-mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200324164653.19449-1-mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
The QAPI struct GuestFileWhence has a comment about how we are
exploiting equivalent values between two different integer types
shared in a union. But C says behavior is undefined on assignments to
overlapping storage when the two types are not the same width, and
indeed, 'int64_t value' and 'enum QGASeek name' are very likely to be
different in width. Utilize a temporary variable to fix things.
Reported-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
Fixes: 0b4b49387
Fixes: Coverity CID 1421990
