The helper checks whether a string contains only whitespace or is NULL.
This will be helpful to skip cases where a user string is optional, but
may be provided empty with the same meaning.
We do so in the vast majority of places, so there's no problem of adding
the attribute to enforce it by the complier and fix a few leftover
places.
This was originally pointed out by Coverity as a recent change triggered
it's warning that our code checked the vast majority of returns from
virStrToLong_ui.
To free string lists with some strings stolen from the middle we need to
walk the complete array. Introduce a new helper that takes the string
list size to free such string lists.
To allow using the array manipulation macros on the arrays returned by
virStringSplit we need to know the count of the elements in the array.
Modify virStringSplit to return this value, rename it and add a helper
with the old name so that we don't need to update all the code.
strtoul() is required to parse negative numbers as their
twos-complement positive counterpart. But sometimes we want
to reject negative numbers. Add new functions to do this.
The 'p' suffix is a mnemonic for 'positive' (technically it
also parses 0, but 'non-negative' doesn't lend itself to a
nice one-letter suffix).

Add a virStringSearch method to virstring.{c,h} which performs
a regex match against a string and returns the matching substrings.

When virAsprintf was changed from a function to a macro
reporting OOM error in dc6f2da, it was documented as returning
0 on success. This is incorrect, it returns the number of bytes
written as asprintf does.
Some of the functions were converted to use virAsprintf's return
value directly, changing the return value on success from 0 to >= 0.
For most of these, this is not a problem, but the change in
virPCIDriverDir breaks PCI passthrough.
The return value check in virhashtest pre-dates virAsprintf OOM
conversion.
vmwareMakePath seems to be unused.
Actually, I'm turning this function into a macro as filename,
function name and line number needs to be passed. The new
function virAsprintfInternal is introduced with the extended set
of arguments.
It may shorten the code a bit as the following pattern:
VIR_STRNDUP(dst, src, cond ? n : strlen(src))
is used on several places among our code. However, we can
move the strlen into virStrndup and thus write just:
VIR_STRNDUP(dst, src, cond ? n : -1)
Since PIDs can be reused, polkit prefers to be given
a (PID,start time) pair. If given a PID on its own,
it will attempt to lookup the start time in /proc/pid/stat,
though this is subject to races.
It is safer if the client app resolves the PID start
time itself, because as long as the app has the client
socket open, the client PID won't be reused.

While reviewing proposed VIR_STRDUP conversions, I've already noticed
several places that do:
if (str && VIR_STRDUP(dest, str) < 0)
which can be simplified by allowing str to be NULL (something that
strdup() doesn't allow). Meanwhile, code that wants to ensure a
non-NULL dest regardless of the source can check for <= 0.
Also, make it part of the VIR_STRDUP contract that macro arguments
are evaluated exactly once.
* src/util/virstring.h (VIR_STRDUP, VIR_STRDUP_QUIET, VIR_STRNDUP)
(VIR_STRNDUP_QUIET): Improve contract.
* src/util/virstring.c (virStrdup, virStrndup): Change return
conventions.
* docs/hacking.html.in: Document this.
* HACKING: Regenerate.

The code adaptation is not done right now, but in subsequent patches.
Hence I am not implementing syntax-check rule as it would break
compilation. Developers are strongly advised to use these new macros.
They are similar to VIR_ALLOC() logic: VIR_STRDUP(dst, src) returns zero
on success, -1 otherwise. In case you don't want to report OOM error,
use the _QUIET variant of a macro.
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.
This introduces a few new APIs for dealing with strings.
One to split a char * into a char **, another to join a
char ** into a char *, and finally one to free a char **
There is a simple test suite to validate the edge cases
too. No more need to use the horrible strtok_r() API,
or hand-written code for splitting strings.
