[PATCH v2 1/2] hw/i386/pc: pc_system_ovmf_table_find: Assert that flash was parsed
Posted by Dov Murik 4 years, 7 months ago 
Add assertion in pc_system_ovmf_table_find that verifies that the flash
was indeed previously parsed (looking for the OVMF table) by
pc_system_parse_ovmf_flash.

Now pc_system_ovmf_table_find distinguishes between "no one called
pc_system_parse_ovmf_flash" (which will abort due to assertion failure)
and "the flash was parsed but no OVMF table was found, or it is invalid"
(which will return false).

Does the qemu coding style prefer not initializing the bool to false since
it will default to that? Otherwise,

Indeed, you are right, and checkpatch will block this patch:

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
