Patch 0015: Nack (minor). I can fix this when I push, but please don't

Thanks for review. I do not like memset().  It just hides things. If it is not initialized coverity and valgrind would not complain and we will see the issue.
The plugin for gedit that I use does not show the spaces the way the old plugin did. I need to find a good plugin again.
I will take a note to find a better plugin.

Please push and I will just rebase.

Please see the attached patches. I tried to split the patches logically
into manageable sets.
Unfortunately I made a minor mistake and I am afraid I will do something
wrong to fix it.
I merged two wrong patches. Fortunately it was three liner with 1 liner
so it is not a big of the deal but I am really scared that I will do
something wrong and loose the work I have done.
So I hope it is Ok to send it as is.

          
0001--INI-Making-Coverity-happy.patch  <- this is the patch I submitted
earlier that I merged by mistake. I was supposed to merge it with patch
25 but picked the wrong one instead.
Patch 25 addresses the real issue found by Coverity as mentioned in
Stephen's review mail but it did not apply cleanly since it relies on
some code from the patches in the middle.

I split this patch. I'm attaching the missing initializer patch. That
gets an ack.

However, the 100078/79 fix is not correct. I did some digging and found
the real problem. If you look at line 264 and 279 of ini_valueobj_ut.c,
it's possible for other_create_test() to return EOK without having
modified the vo variable. As a result, you will be passing the
uninitialized value to modify_test(). So Coverity is right that there's
a possibility of it passing a freed variable here.

So the Coverity fix gets a nack.

I realized what the problem is. See the first patch.


          
0002--INI-Adding-missing-function-declararion.patch  <- this is the
patch that was rejected from the second set sent earlier. Fixed
according to review comment.
Dropped. I think Jakub fixed it.

Ack.


0003--BUILD-Allow-trace-per-component.patch <- This patch allows tracing
per component

Nack. Requiring a file doesn't make sense. Just add --enable-trace-ini,
--enable-trace-collection etc. flags.

Dropped for now

The following set of patches introduces the merging of sections during
the reading of the file:
0004--INI-New-error-codes-and-messages.patch
It would be better to use an enum here instead of #defines, then your
last entry for ERR_MAXPARSE will always be one higher than your previous
error message.

See sdap_basic_opt in src/providers/ldap/sdap.h in the SSSD source code
for an example.

That said, there's nothing WRONG with this patch, so ack.

Attached as is. The ticket is open.


0005--INI-New-merge-flags.patch
I don't much like the idea of having flags that have overlapping bits
without an obvious reason (0x0020 and 0x0030, for example), but since
those are pre-existing, I'll leave them alone. Ack.
As I mentioned earlier I will reconsider however for now it is unchanged.


          
0006--INI-Add-new-vars-to-parse-structure.patch
Ack, though it seems to me that a memset to zero would be simpler than
manually setting every struct member to zero manually.
Unchanged



          
0007--INI-Add-save_error-function.patch
Nack. It doesn't make sense to pass in an index value to an array local
only to the function. That's not clean. It would be better to either
pass in the const char * for the message, or at worst pass in an enum
type that you would use to look up the matching error message.
Modified. Const char * is passed in.


          
0008--INI-Change-parse_error-to-use-save_error.patch
Nack. This will need to be updated to correspond to the changes for
patch 0007.
Updated to reflect the above patch.


          
0009--INI-Preparing-for-merging-sections.patch
Ack.

Unchanged

0010--INI-Enhance-value-processing.patch
Ack.

Unchanged

0011--INI-Use-section-line-number.patch
Ack.

Unchanged

0012--INI-Refactor-section-processing.patch
Nack. Please fix the formatting of the switch statement. There should be
only one level of indent following the case tag.

Done

0013--INI-Return-error-in-DETECT-mode.patch
Ack

Unchanged

0014--INI-New-test-files-for-section-merge.patch
Ack

Unchanged

0015--INI-Test-DETECT-mode-and-use-new-file.patch
Ack

Unchanged
0016--INI-Test-for-all-section-merge-modes.patch
Nack. Please fix random tabs in the indentation. Otherwise it looks fine.

Fixed.



Added another patch, in the new numeration it is patch 15. It is a
cosmetic change to meet the coding standard.

The rest are deferred in this round.

------------------------------

I also have a question.
I use a struct that is not aligned by 8 byte boundary on a 64 bit machine.

pointer = 8
unsigned = 4
unsigned = 4
unsigned = 4

total length is 20 which is padded to 24

I allocate memory for it using sizeof of the structure. Everything is
fine - no leak. I then set the values of the structure one by one.
Also in some cases for debugging purposes I print the contents of the
allocated memory as binary memory byte by byte.
When I do this with the memory used by this structure valgrind complains
that I am printing uninitialized memory. And indeed the padding is not
initialized by me.
So I can:
1) memset memory after allocating it (which I do not like to do
especially if I can set all the elements to the non zero values anyways
except for padding)
2) Add artificial padding to the structure or a dummy unsigned member
(seems a bit ugly)
3) Ignore the warning (seems wrong)
4) Ask your advice (...?)
