[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Use glib's checks for use of too-new functions

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Glib 2.32 adds a checking mechanism to warn of use of functions that
are available in glib versions newer than a particular version.

This series enables that check (via a -D added during configure);
with it you get warnings like:

/home/dgilbert/git/qemu-world3/vl.c: In function 'main':
/home/dgilbert/git/qemu-world3/vl.c:4385:5: warning: 'g_source_get_ready_time' 
is deprecated: Not available before 2.36 [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
     printf("Foo! %lld\n", (long long) g_source_get_ready_time(NULL));

Notes:
  a) The other patch in the set fixes a configure error that caused a test
     never to be run even if there was a new enough glib
  b) Peter said he would prefer something #included rather than added as a -D
     but then we'd have to change a whole bunch of files to make sure they
     do that before glib.h is included, and it wouldn't protect you from new
     code that forgot to do that.
  c) Glib's older than 2.32 don't have the mechanism and thus don't complain
  d) The earliest version marker that glib lets you check against is 2.26,
     which is what I've set it to.  Since we allow 2.22 but 2.22 doesn't have
     this new check, it doesn't cause any warnings.
  e) Build and make check'd on fedora 22 (glib 2.44), rhel6 (glib 2.26), and
     rhel5 with glib 2.22 built on it.
