If the stars are in the right position and you're building with VBox >= 4.2.0 it will happen that compiler thinks an array allocated on the stack may be unbounded: In file included from vbox/vbox_V4_2.c:13:0: vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: In function '_virtualboxCreateMachine': vbox/vbox_tmpl.c:2811:1: error: stack usage might be unbounded [-Werror=stack-usage=] _virtualboxCreateMachine(vboxGlobalData *data, virDomainDefPtr def, IMachine **machine, char *uuidstr ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED) ^ Well, given how the variable is declared, I had some hard time seeing it is actually bounded. Surprisingly compiler does not complain because of -Wframe-larger-than. This is because variable length arrays do not count into that warning. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
