[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen/Kconfig: Fix -Wformat-security when compiling with Clang
Posted by Andrew Cooper 4 years, 9 months ago 
Clang observes:

tools/kconfig/conf.c:77:10:
warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure)
      [-Wformat-security]
                printf(_("aborted!\n\n"));
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it is absolutely correct.  gettext() can easily return a string with a %
in.

This could be fixed by switching to using printf("%s", _(...)), or by
switching to puts() (as there is no formatting going on), but the better
option is follow Linux and remove localisation support.

kconfig: drop localization support

The localization support is broken and appears unused.
There is no google hits on the update-po-config target.
And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization.

So lets just drop this as it is no longer used.

I'm pretty curious: Where would a % come from when there's none
in the original English string? I wouldn't call it "proper translation" if
a translated string had non-textual things in it that the original didn't
have. Or are there languages using % in ordinary words?

Note that this is in no way an objection to the change, the more
that it's a reduction of source size.

Well - thats why I carefully worded it as "easy to return", rather than
"there are valid translations which contain..."

That said, I bet you can have a lot of fun with translations which use
non-ASCII characters.

In which case can I further recommend that we drop the QT and glade
versions.  They don't build (and never have it seems).

I haven't built this locally but overall I think this is a good backport
to do. In the past there were a lot of concerns about the size of the
Kconfig code base that we were bringing into the tree and some of the
functionality that seemed less than necessary. The approach was taken to
always backport from Linux to ease the maintenance burden for Xen but a
backport like this seems like it achieves both goals.
