It's perfect valid C to terminate a statement with "," instead of ";" - it just has a different meaning. Consider this:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { if (0) printf("Hello!\n"), printf("Good bye!\n"); return 0; } At a first glance, you'd expect this program to print "Good bye!" - but it does not. Actually, the "," is used here to put the two printf statements into the same block, so this program is the same as: if (0) { printf("Hello!\n"); printf("Good bye!\n"); } Thus, there is no real bug in simple.c here, but of course it would be better style to clean this up and use ";" instead. By the way, two lines earlier there is another line ending in ",": dropped.rec.event = DROPPED_EVENT_ID, ** Summary changed: - A typo in trace/simple.c + Replace comma with semicolon in trace/simple.c -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798659 Title: Replace comma with semicolon in trace/simple.c Status in QEMU: New Bug description: In the master branch in trace/simple.c in writeout_thread (https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/trace/simple.c#L174) we currently have: dropped.rec.length = sizeof(TraceRecord) + sizeof(uint64_t), dropped.rec.pid = trace_pid; It seems to me like a typo that the first line ends with a comma. Currently this causes no harm, but I think this should be fixed. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1798659/+subscriptions
