[libvirt] [PATCH] maint: avoid remaining sprintf uses

Eric Blake eblake at redhat.com
Wed Nov 10 21:49:09 UTC 2010


* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sprintf): New rule.
(sc_prohibit_asprintf): Avoid false positives.
* docs/hacking.html.in (Printf-style functions): Document the
policy.
* .x-sc_prohibit_sprintf: New exemptions.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxStartMachine, vboxAttachUSB): Use
virAsprintf instead.
* src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlOpenMonitor): Use snprintf instead.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdDetachInterface): Likewise.
* src/security/security_selinux.c (SELinuxGenSecurityLabel):
Likewise.
* src/openvz/openvz_driver.c (openvzDomainDefineCmd): Likewise,
and ensure large enough buffer.

+      When printing to a string, consider using virBuffer for
+      incremental allocations, virAsprintf for a one-shot allocation,
+      and snprintf for fixed-width buffers.  Do not use sprintf, even
+      if you can prove the buffer won't overflow, since gnulib does
+      not provide the same portability guarantees for sprintf as it
+      does for snprintf.
