Commit Message

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé Sept. 3, 2021, 11:06 a.m. UTC
When experimenting raising GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to 2.68
(Fedora 34 provides GLib 2.68.1) we get:

  hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c:245:24: error: 'g_memdup' is deprecated: Use 'g_memdup2' instead [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
  ...

g_memdup() has been updated by g_memdup2() to fix eventual security
issues (size argument is 32-bit and could be truncated / wrapping).
GLib recommends to copy their static inline version of g_memdup2():
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/port-your-module-from-g-memdup-to-g-memdup2-now/5538

Our glib-compat.h provides a comment explaining how to deal with
these deprecated declarations (see commit e71e8cc0355
"glib: enforce the minimum required version and warn about old APIs").

Following this comment suggestion, implement the g_memdup2_qemu()
wrapper to g_memdup2(), and use the safer equivalent inlined when
we are using pre-2.68 GLib.

Close, but you missed the final piece of the puzzle

   #define g_memdup2(a) g_memdup2_qemu(a)


Such that in all following patches you can use the normal "g_memdup2"
API. This means when we later update min glib, we just delete the
compat code here, and the callers don't need updates.

Regards,
Daniel

That was most probably already discussed, so sorry my question:

Why we can't just do

#if ! GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2, 68, 0)
static inline gpointer g_memdup2(gconstpointer mem, gsize byte_size)
{
     gpointer new_mem;

     if (mem && byte_size != 0) {
         new_mem = g_malloc(byte_size);
         memcpy(new_mem, mem, byte_size);
     } else {
         new_mem = NULL;
     }

     return new_mem;
}
#endif

?

This doesn't play with GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED - any use of
g_memdup2 will trigger compile warnings since we're using an
API that only exists in a glib version newer than our declared
baseline.

The inline wrapper  + macro is a trick that lets us backport
new features, while avoiding the compile warnings.

This is documented in the include/glib-compat.h file that Philippe
is modifying.

Regards,
Daniel

Ah right, with macro, compiler doesn't see g_memdup2() invocations in code. Thanks!

Painful rebase in perspective...
