From 36628731ec9ef46393d25d2fbdac40cc70c4d27a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ezequiel Garcia Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:57:15 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] tuners/xc4000: Replace memcpy with struct assignment This kind of memcpy() is error-prone. Its replacement with a struct assignment is prefered because it's type-safe and much easier to read. Found by coccinelle. Hand patched and reviewed. Tested by compilation only. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier struct_name; struct struct_name to; struct struct_name from; expression E; @@ -memcpy(&(to), &(from), E); +to = from; // Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- drivers/media/tuners/xc4000.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/tuners/xc4000.c b/drivers/media/tuners/xc4000.c index 5c0fd787cc8f..2018befabb5a 100644 --- a/drivers/media/tuners/xc4000.c +++ b/drivers/media/tuners/xc4000.c @@ -1066,7 +1066,7 @@ check_device: goto fail; } - memcpy(&priv->cur_fw, &new_fw, sizeof(priv->cur_fw)); + priv->cur_fw = new_fw; /* * By setting BASE in cur_fw.type only after successfully loading all
