gamepad_state::buttons is a pointer to an array of structs,
not an array of structs, so should be declared in the vmstate
with VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_POINTER_INT32; otherwise we
corrupt memory on incoming migration.
We bump the vmstate version field as the easiest way to
deal with the migration break, since migration wouldn't have
worked reliably before anyway.

OK, it would be great to change num_buttons to uint32_t and make that a
UINT32 at some point; it's hard to press negative buttons.

Since the version is incremented, now seems to be a good time.

Don't worry; you can always change the int to a uint later without bumping the version again. Unless someone somewhere has a device with -ve buttons it'll be fine.

The number of buttons is a constant set up when the device is created (it would be a QOM property if this device had been converted to QOM; as it is it's an argument to the stellaris_gamepad_init() function) and the num_buttons field itself is not migrated. As it happens the one caller of this function passes the constant value "5"... thanks -- PMM

Is there much benefit though? As an aside, I'm surprised also the macro doesn't complain that we said the num_buttons field is int32 but it's really "int"... arguably a different kind of missing type check. thanks -- PMM

We would need to compile on a host with int size not being 32bit to catch this kind of problem I think. -- Damien

I was under the impression we did catch attempts to use "int" with the VMSTATE_INT32() macro, but we do apply the type-checking magic to the 'value' fields in the VARRAY macros, so I guess I'm misremembering. thanks -- PMM
