This causes two problems: a) Compilers moan that your code is unsafe even though you've put an assert in before the point of use. b) Someone evil could, in a library, call g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() and cause our assertions in important places not to fail and potentially allow memory overruns. Ban most of the glib assertion functions (basically everything except g_assert and g_assert_not_reached) except in tests/ This makes checkpatch gives an error such as: ERROR: Use g_assert or g_assert_not_reached #77: FILE: vl.c:4725: + g_assert_cmpstr("Chocolate", >, "Cheese"); Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert Message-Id: <20170427165526.19836-1-dgilbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index f084542934..73cee81b79 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -2571,6 +2571,27 @@ sub process { if ($line =3D~ /\bbzero\(/) { ERROR("use memset() instead of bzero()\n" . $herecurr); } + my $non_exit_glib_asserts =3D qr{g_assert_cmpstr| + g_assert_cmpint| + g_assert_cmpuint| + g_assert_cmphex| + g_assert_cmpfloat| + g_assert_true| + g_assert_false| + g_assert_nonnull| + g_assert_null| + g_assert_no_error| + g_assert_error| + g_test_assert_expected_messages| + g_test_trap_assert_passed| + g_test_trap_assert_stdout| + g_test_trap_assert_stdout_unmatched| + g_test_trap_assert_stderr| + g_test_trap_assert_stderr_unmatched}x; + if ($realfile !~ /^tests\// && + $line =3D~ /\b(?:$non_exit_glib_asserts)\(/) { + ERROR("Use g_assert or g_assert_not_reached\n". $herecurr); + } } =20 # If we have no input at all, then there is nothing to report on --=20 2.12.2
