The dispatcher functions have numerous places where they return to the caller. This leads to duplicated cleanup code, often resulting in memory leaks. It makes it harder to ensure that errors are dispatched before freeing objects, which may overwrite the original error. The standard pattern is now remoteDispatchXXX(...) { int rv = -1; .... if (XXX < 0) goto cleanup; ... if (XXXX < 0) goto cleanup; ... rv = 0; cleanup: if (rv < 0) remoteDispatchError(rerr); ...free all other stuff.. return rv; } * daemon/remote.c: Centralize all cleanup paths * daemon/stream.c: s/remoteDispatchConnError/remoteDispatchError/ * daemon/dispatch.c, daemon/dispatch.h: Replace remoteDispatchConnError with remoteDispatchError removing unused virConnectPtr
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
