Apps using libvirt will often have code like
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError();
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
err && err->message ? err->message :
"unknown error");
return -1;
}
Checking for a NULL error object or message leads to very
verbose code. A virGetLastErrorMessage() helper from libvirt
can simplify this to
if (virXXXX() < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n",
virGetLastErrorMessage());
return -1;
}

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Add a virCgroupIsolateMount method which looks at where the
current process is place in the cgroups (eg /system/demo.lxc.libvirt)
and then remounts the cgroups such that this sub-directory
becomes the root directory from the current process' POV.

Introduce a local object virIdentity for managing security
attributes used to form a client application's identity.
Instances of this object are intended to be used as if they
were immutable, once created & populated with attributes

Without error handler set, virDefaultErrorFunc will be called, the
error message is prefixed with "libvir:". It become a little better
by using prefix "libvirt:" when working with upper application.
For example:
1, stop libvirtd daemon
2, run virt-top.
libvir: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect \
socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': \
No such file or directory
libvirt: VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR: VIR_FROM_RPC: \

Way back when I started making changes for Coverity messages my first set
were to a bunch of CHECKED_RETURN errors. In particular virAsprintf() had
a few callers that Coverity noted didn't check their return (although some
did check if the buffer being printed to was NULL or not).
It was suggested at the time as a further patch an ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK
should be added to virAsprintf(), see:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-January/msg00120.html
This patch does that and fixes a few more instances not found by Coverity
that failed the check.
