2011-12-15HACKING: clarify allocation/free recommendationsPeter Maydell1-4/+6
Clarify the allocation/free recommendations; this is mostly just tidying up following the global-search-and-replace done with the conversion to the GLib g_malloc and friends.

2011-02-25HACKING: Update status of format checkingStefan Weil1-3/+0
Hopefully all functions with printf like arguments now use format checking. This was tested with default build configuration on linux and windows hosts (including some cross compilations), so chances are good that there remain few (if any) functions without format checking. Therefore the last comment in HACKING is no longer valid but misleading.
