From 39e0b03dec518254fabd2acff29548d3f1d2b754 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 13:06:35 +0100 Subject: memory: Assert that memory_region_init_rom_device() ops aren't NULL It doesn't make sense to pass a NULL ops argument to memory_region_init_rom_device(), because the effect will be that if the guest tries to write to the memory region then QEMU will segfault. Catch the bug earlier by sanity checking the arguments to this function, and remove the misleading documentation that suggests that passing NULL might be sensible.
