Re: [Qemu-arm] [PATCH for-4.1] target/arm: Stop using variable length array in dc_zva

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Le jeu. 28 mars 2019 15:30, Peter Maydell <address@hidden> a écrit :

Currently the dc_zva helper function uses a variable length
array. In fact we know (as the comment above remarks) that
the length of this array is bounded because the architecture
limits the block size and QEMU limits the target page size.
Use a fixed array size and assert that we don't run off it.

A small move in the direction of "avoid using variable length
arrays in QEMU"...

Or g_new()... For 2K nowadays that is fine.
