From d060b7b3798033d3109a3cbf664d1b44f36c394e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Haller Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2018 14:20:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] shared: avoid invoking g_free() with NULL from gs_free cleanup attribute In general, it's fine to pass %NULL to g_free(). However, consider: char * foo (void) { gs_free char *value = NULL; value = g_strdup ("hi"); return g_steal_pointer (&value); } gs_free, gs_local_free(), and g_steal_pointer() are all inlinable. Here the compiler can easily recognize that we always pass %NULL to g_free(). But with the previous implementation, the compiler would not omit the call to g_free(). Similar patterns happen all over the place: gboolean baz (void) { gs_free char *value = NULL; if (!some_check ()) return FALSE; value = get_value (); if (!value) return FALSE; return TRUE; } in this example, g_free() is only required after setting @value to non-NULL. Note that this does increase the binary side a bit (4k for libnm, 8k for NetworkManager, with "-O2"). --- shared/nm-utils/nm-macros-internal.h | 10 +++++----- shared/nm-utils/nm-secret-utils.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/shared/nm-utils/nm-macros-internal.h b/shared/nm-utils/nm-macros-internal.h index b8b945342a..d78f087414 100644 --- a/shared/nm-utils/nm-macros-internal.h +++ b/shared/nm-utils/nm-macros-internal.h @@ -99,7 +99,7 @@ static inline void name (Type *v) \ * Call g_free() on a variable location when it goes out of scope. */ #define gs_free nm_auto(gs_local_free) -NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN_VOID (void *, gs_local_free, g_free) +NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN_VOID0 (void *, gs_local_free, g_free) /** * gs_unref_object: @@ -160,7 +160,7 @@ NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN0 (GHashTable *, gs_local_hashtable_unref, g_hash_table_unref) * of scope. */ #define gs_free_slist nm_auto(gs_local_free_slist) -NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN (GSList *, gs_local_free_slist, g_slist_free) +NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN0 (GSList *, gs_local_free_slist, g_slist_free) /** * gs_unref_bytes: @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN0 (GBytes *, gs_local_bytes_unref, g_bytes_unref) * Call g_strfreev() on a variable location when it goes out of scope. */ #define gs_strfreev nm_auto(gs_local_strfreev) -NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN (char **, gs_local_strfreev, g_strfreev) +NM_AUTO_DEFINE_FCN0 (char **, gs_local_strfreev, g_strfreev) /** * gs_free_error: @@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ static inline int nm_close (int fd); * However, let's never mix them.
