[Bug tapsets/3880] vfs.stp embedded-C functions need more deref() protection


------- Additional Comments From fche at redhat dot com  2007-01-17 19:35 -------
BTW, adding this to src/HACKING:

   Embedded-C code should avoid making references to the runtime or
-  other code possibly generated by the translator.
+  other code possibly generated by the translator.  Embedded-C code that
+  dereferences pointers should use deref() type functions to check each
+  individual operation if there exists a possibility that the function may
+  be called with invalid pointers or pointer chains.
