With older gcc and 64-bit size_t, the compiler issues a real warning: rpc/virnetserverservice.c:277: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] Introduced in commit 0cc79255. Depending on machine endianness, this warning represents a real bug that could mis-interpret the value by a factor of 2^32. I don't know why I couldn't get newer gcc to report the same warning message. * src/rpc/virnetserverservice.c (virNetServerServiceNewPostExecRestart): Use temporary instead.
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.
