g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n). It's also safer,
for two reasons. One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.
This commit only touches allocations with size arguments of the form
sizeof(T).
Initial patch created mechanically with:
$ spatch --in-place --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/use-g_new-etc.cocci \
--macro-file scripts/cocci-macro-file.h FILES...
This uncovers a typing error:
../hw/9pfs/9p.c: In function ‘qid_path_fullmap’:
../hw/9pfs/9p.c:855:13: error: assignment to ‘QpfEntry *’ from incompatible pointer type ‘QppEntry *’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
855 | val = g_new0(QppEntry, 1);
| ^
Harmless, because QppEntry is larger than QpfEntry. Manually fixed to
allocate a QpfEntry instead.
