[PATCH 2/3] ipc/mach_debug.c (host_ipc_hash_info): quiet GCC warning about uninitialized variable

2013-12-18 Thread Marin Ramesa
Don't initialize to zero, rather move the initialization of size before the break statement. Break on the first iteration should never happen, so the position of initialization doesn't matter. * ipc/mach_debug.c (host_ipc_hash_info) (size): Don't initialize to zero. (host_ipc_hash_info) (size):

[PATCH 1/3] ipc: avoid dereference of null pointer and quiet the GCC warning about uninitialized variable

2013-12-18 Thread Marin Ramesa
The problem is in this statement: assert((entry == IE_NULL) || IE_BITS_TYPE(entry-ie_bits)); The macro assert() checks for a negation of this expression. Negation of an OR expression is an AND expression. In order to evaluate an AND expression, compiler needs to check both conditions. So it
