Use of an 'int' to represent a 'bool' value is confusing. Just because dbus made the mistake of cementing their 4-byte wire format of dbus_bool_t into their API doesn't mean we have to repeat the mistake. With a little bit of finesse, we can guarantee that we provide a large-enough value to the DBus code, while still copying only the relevant one-byte bool to the client code, and isolate the rest of our code base from the DBus stupidity. * src/util/virdbus.c (GET_NEXT_VAL): Add parameter. (virDBusMessageIterDecode): Adjust all clients. * src/util/virpolkit.c (virPolkitCheckAuth): Use nicer type. * tests/virdbustest.c (testMessageSimple, testMessageStruct): Test new behavior.

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.
