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. Patch created with Coccinelle, with two manual changes on top: * Add const to bdrv_iterate_format() to keep the types straight * Convert the allocation in bdrv_drop_intermediate(), which Coccinelle inexplicably misses Coccinelle semantic patch: @@ type T; @@ -g_malloc(sizeof(T)) +g_new(T, 1) @@ type T; @@ -g_try_malloc(sizeof(T)) +g_try_new(T, 1) @@ type T; @@ -g_malloc0(sizeof(T)) +g_new0(T, 1) @@ type T; @@ -g_try_malloc0(sizeof(T)) +g_try_new0(T, 1) @@ type T; expression n; @@ -g_malloc(sizeof(T) * (n)) +g_new(T, n) @@ type T; expression n; @@ -g_try_malloc(sizeof(T) * (n)) +g_try_new(T, ...
