[PATCH-for-5.1? v2] qapi/error: Check format string argument in error_*p


From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé
Subject: [PATCH-for-5.1? v2] qapi/error: Check format string argument in error_*prepend()
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 19:12:05 +0200

error_propagate_prepend() "behaves like error_prepend()", and
error_prepend() uses "formatting @fmt, ... like printf()".
error_prepend() checks its format string argument, but
error_propagate_prepend() does not. Fix by addint the format
attribute to error_propagate_prepend() and error_vprepend().

This would have caught the bug fixed in the previous commit:

    CC      hw/sd/milkymist-memcard.o
  hw/sd/milkymist-memcard.c: In function ‘milkymist_memcard_realize’:
  hw/sd/milkymist-memcard.c:284:70: error: format ‘%s’ expects a matching ‘char 
*’ argument [-Werror=format=]
    284 |         error_propagate_prepend(errp, err, "failed to init SD card: 
%s");
        |                                                                     ~^
        |                                                                      |
        |                                                                      
char *

Missed in commit 4b5766488f "error: Fix use of error_prepend() with
&error_fatal, &error_abort".

Since v1:
- Reword (Markus)
- Add error_vprepend (Stefan)
- Use local style to add the attribute *after* the declaration,
  which is invalid on definition where we get (depending on the
  toolchain):

  . error: attributes should be specified before the declarator in a function 
definition

  . error: attributes are not allowed on a function-definition
