checkpatch: Disallow glib asserts in main code
Glib commit a6a875068779 (from 2013) made many of the glib assert macros non-fatal if a flag is set. This causes two problems: a) Compilers moan that your code is unsafe even though you've put an assert in before the point of use. b) Someone evil could, in a library, call g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() and cause our assertions in important places not to fail and potentially allow memory overruns. Ban most of the glib assertion functions (basically everything except g_assert and g_assert_not_reached) except in tests/ This makes checkpatch gives an error such as: ERROR: Use g_assert or g_assert_not_reached #77: FILE: vl.c:4725: + g_assert_cmpstr("Chocolate", >, "Cheese"); Signed-off-by: NDr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20170427165526.19836-1-dgilbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
