[Xen-devel] [PATCH v1 0/1] libxl/gentypes: add range init to array elements in json parsing

Posted by Oleksandr Grytsov 4 years, 5 months ago

There are two old threads in which this issues was addresses ([1], [2]) but
the root cause wasn't defined. The real root cause is that when libxl creates
json file it doesn't put entries for fields with default value (which is
correct). Then during parsing json back to data, array elements are initialized
by zero in all cases. But they should be initialized to default value (if it is
not equals to zero).
