Stefan Berger 7b7cb1ecc9 deprecate fclose() and introduce VIR_{FORCE_}FCLOSE()
Similarly to deprecating close(), I am now deprecating fclose() and
introduce VIR_FORCE_FCLOSE() and VIR_FCLOSE(). Also, fdopen() is replaced with
VIR_FDOPEN().

Most of the files are opened in read-only mode, so usage of
VIR_FORCE_CLOSE() seemed appropriate. Others that are opened in write
mode already had the fclose()<  0 check and I converted those to
VIR_FCLOSE()<  0.

I did not find occurrences of possible double-closed files on the way.

Matthias Bolte 34ed4e9809 Generate HACKING from docs/hacking.html.in 2010-11-12 19:47:20 +01:00
Stefan Berger f04de501bc Introduce VIR_CLOSE to be used rather than close()
Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.

There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).

Cole Robinson 9710856b33 tests: Centralize VIR_TEST_DEBUG lookup, and document it
Provide a simple interface for other tests to lookup the testDebug variable.
Also remove a redundant error message in interface tests.

If anyone feels inclined to change this env variable to match the existing
LIBVIRT_* format, it should now be easier to do so.

Chris Lalancette 03d777f345 Introduce virStrncpy.
Add the virStrncpy function, which takes a dst string, source string,
the number of bytes to copy and the number of bytes available in the
dest string.  If the source string is too large to fit into the
destination string, including the \0 byte, then no data is copied and
the function returns NULL.  Otherwise, this function copies n bytes
from source into dst, including the \0, and returns a pointer to the
dst string.  This function is intended to replace all unsafe uses
of strncpy in the code base, since strncpy does *not* guarantee that
the buffer terminates with a \0.

Daniel P. Berrange 899ae0d2b5 Fix misc Win32 compile warnings
GCC >= 4.4 assumes the 'printf' attribute refers to the native
runtime libraries format specifiers. Thanks to gnulib, libvirt
has GNU format specifiers everywhere.  This means we need to
use 'gnu_printf' with GCC >= 4.4 to get correct compiler
checking of printf format specifiers.
