Series Fix strncpy() warnings for GCC8 new -Wstringop-truncation | expand

Commit Message

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé Dec. 18, 2018, 5:51 p.m. UTC
GCC 8 added a -Wstringop-truncation warning:

  The -Wstringop-truncation warning added in GCC 8.0 via r254630 for
  bug 81117 is specifically intended to highlight likely unintended
  uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NUL
  character from the source string.

This new warning leads to compilation failures:

    CC      migration/global_state.o
  qemu/migration/global_state.c: In function 'global_state_store_running':
  qemu/migration/global_state.c:45:5: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
       strncpy((char *)global_state.runstate, state, sizeof(global_state.runstate));
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make: *** [qemu/rules.mak:69: migration/global_state.o] Error 1

Use the QEMU_NONSTRING attribute, since this array is intended to store
character arrays that do not necessarily contain a terminating NUL.

Should this be squashed with 5/5?

Since 100 bytes for runstate[] is larger than any string possible in our 
current enum string values, could we instead add an assert that 
strlen(state) < sizeof(global_state.runstate), and then use strpadcpy() 
to make our intent obvious while still shutting up the compiler warning, 
but without having to deal with the fallout of marking runstate as a 
non-string?

Hmm; global_state_post_load needs to be fixed for this;  it
uses s->runsate and ends up passing it to both a trace
and a qapi_enum_parse - so it's really treating it as a string.
That code is unsafe anyway since it's assuming the received
runstate would be terminated.
