It's lame that gcc warns on that usage; I'm half-tempted to propose a POSIX bug that various memory functions (memcpy being one of them) should sanely behave on a length of 0 regardless of the pointer argument (that is, require that implementations not dereference the pointer when length is 0). But even if POSIX accepts such an improvement, we're still stuck working around existing compilers/system headers that warn. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
