BUILD: tree-wide: avoid warnings caused by redundant checks of obj_types
At many places we use construct such as:
if (objt_server(blah))
do_something(objt_server(blah));
At -O2 the compiler manages to simplify the operation and see that the
second one returns the same result as the first one. But at -O1 that's
not always the case, and the compiler is able to emit a second
expression and sees the potential null that results from it, and may
warn about a potential null deref (e.g. with gcc-6.5). There are two
solutions to this:
- either the result of the first test has to be passed to a local
variable
- or the second reference ought to be unchecked using the __objt_*
variant.
This patch fixes all occurrences at once by taking the second approach
(the least intrusive). For constructs like:
objt_server(blah) ? objt_server(blah)->name : "no name"
a macro could be useful. It would for example take the object type
(server), the field name (name) and the default value. But there
are probably not enough occurrences across the whole code for this
to really matter.
This should be backported wherever it applies.
