[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] libxc: Fix buffer length for get_suspend_file



Declaring a formal parameter to have an array type doesn't result in
the parameter actually having an array type.  The type is "adjusted"
to a pointer.  (C99 6.9.1(7), 6.7.5.3.)

So the use of sizeof in xc_suspend.c:get_suspend_file was wrong.
Instead, use the #define.  Also get rid of the array size, as it is
misleading.

Newer versions of gcc warn about the erroneous code:
  xc_suspend.c:39:25: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'snprintf' call
    is the same expression as the destination; did you mean to provide
    an explicit length? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]
