Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

Create a new file for managing a list of checkpoint objects, borrowing
heavily from existing virDomainSnapshotObjList paradigms.
Note that while snapshots definitely have a use case for multiple
children to a single parent (create a base snapshot, create a child
snapshot, revert to the base, then create another child snapshot),
it's harder to predict how checkpoints will play out with reverting to
prior points in time. Thus, in initial use, given a list of
checkpoints, you never have more than one child, and we can treat the
most-recent leaf node as the parent of the next node creation, without
having to expose a notion of a current node in XML or public API.
However, as the snapshot machinery is already generic, it is easier to
reuse the generic machinery that tracks relations between domain
moments than it is to open-code a new list-management scheme just for
checkpoints (hence, we still have internal functions related to a
current checkpoint, even though that has no observable effect
externally, as well as the addition of a function to easily find the
lone leaf in the list to use as the current checkpoint).

Introduce a bunch of new public APIs related to backup checkpoints.
Checkpoints are modeled heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both
represent a point in time of the guest), although a snapshot exists
with the intent of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint
exists to make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time. We may have a future hypervisor that can completely manage
checkpoints without libvirt metadata, but the first two planned
hypervisors (qemu and test) both always use libvirt for tracking
metadata relations between checkpoints, so for now, I've deferred
the counterpart of virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata for a separate
API addition at a later date if there is ever a need for it.
Note that until we allow snapshots and checkpoints to exist
simultaneously on the same domain (although the actual prevention of
this will be in a separate patch for the sake of an easier revert down
the road), that it is not possible to branch out to create more than
one checkpoint child to a given parent, although it may become
possible later when we revert to a snapshot that coincides with a
checkpoint. This also means that for now, the decision of which
checkpoint becomes the parent of a newly created one is the only
checkpoint with no child (so while there are APIs for dealing with a
current snapshot, we do not need those for checkpoints). We may end
up exposing a notion of a current checkpoint later, but it's easier to
add stuff when proven needed than to blindly support it now and wish
we hadn't exposed it.
The following map shows the API relations to snapshots, with new APIs
on the right:
Operate on a domain object to create/redefine a child:
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML virDomainCheckpointCreateXML
Operate on a child object for lifetime management:
virDomainSnapshotDelete virDomainCheckpointDelete
virDomainSnapshotFree virDomainCheckpointFree
virDomainSnapshotRef virDomainCheckpointRef
Operate on a child object to learn more about it:
virDomainSnapshotGetXMLDesc virDomainCheckpointGetXMLDesc
virDomainSnapshotGetConnect virDomainCheckpointGetConnect
virDomainSnapshotGetDomain virDomainCheckpointGetDomain
virDomainSnapshotGetName virDomainCheckpiontGetName
virDomainSnapshotGetParent virDomainCheckpiontGetParent
virDomainSnapshotHasMetadata (deferred for later)
virDomainSnapshotIsCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
Operate on a domain object to list all children:
virDomainSnapshotNum (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllSnapshots virDomainListAllCheckpoints
Operate on a child object to list descendents:
virDomainSnapshotNumChildren (no counterparts, these are the old
virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames racy interfaces)
virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren virDomainCheckpointListAllChildren
Operate on a domain to locate a particular child:
virDomainSnapshotLookupByName virDomainCheckpointLookupByName
virDomainSnapshotCurrent (no counterpart, see note above)
virDomainHasCurrentSnapshot (no counterpart, old racy interface)
Operate on a snapshot to roll back to earlier state:
virDomainSnapshotRevert (no counterpart, instead checkpoints
are used in incremental backups via
XML to virDomainBackupBegin)

virDomainSnapshotFindByName(list, NULL) should return NULL, rather
than the internal-use-only metaroot. Most existing callers pass in a
non-NULL name; the few external callers that don't are immediately
calling virDomainMomentSetParent (which indeed needs the metaroot
rather than NULL if the parent name is NULL); but as the leaky
abstraction is ugly, it is worth instead making
virDomainMomentSetParent static and adding a new function for
resolving the parent link of a brand new moment within its list. The
existing external uses of virDomainMomentSetParent always succeed
(either the new moment has parent_name of NULL to become a new root,
or has parent_name set to a strdup of the previous current moment);
hence, our new function does not need a return value (but it still has
a VIR_WARN in case future uses break our assumptions about failure
being impossible).
Missed when commit 02c4e24d refactored things to attempt to remove
direct metaroot manipulations out of the qemu and test drivers into
internal-only details, and made more obvious when commit dc8d3dc6
factored it out into a separate file.

The qemu driver already had a full-blown virDomainMomentObjPtr to

better error checking that the user passed in a valid object. Removes

Rather than hard-coding the snapshot filter bit values into the
generic code, add another layer of indirection: callers must map which
of their public filter bits correspond to supported moment bits, then
pass two separate flags (the ones translated for moment code to
operate on, and the remaining ones for the filter callback to operate
on).

The new code here very heavily resembles the code in
virDomainSnapshotObjList. There are still a couple of spots that are
tied a little too heavily to snapshots (the free function lacks a
polymorphic cleanup until we refactor code to use virObject; and an
upcoming patch will add internal VIR_DOMAIN_MOMENT_LIST flags to
replace the snapshot flag bits), but in general this is fairly close
to the state needed to add checkpoint lists.

Now that we have made virDomainMomentObj sufficiently generic to
support both snapshots and checkpoints, it is time to rename the file
that it lives in. The split between a generic object and a list of the
generic objects doesn't buy us as much, so it will be easier to stick
all the moment list code in one file, with more code moving in the
next patch. The changes during the move are fairly minor, although it
is worth pointing out that the log/error messages for the new file
report that they are from "domain", since the file will eventually be
shared by both "domain snapshot" and "domain checkpoint".
