Ever since their introduction (commit 1509b80 in v0.5.0 for virConnectDomainEventRegister, commit 4445723 in v0.8.0 for virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny), the event deregistration functions have been documented as returning 0 on success; likewise for older registration (only the newer RegisterAny must return a non-zero callbackID). And now that we are adding virConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny for v1.2.1, it should have the same semantics. Fortunately, all of the stateful drivers have been obeying the docs and returning 0, thanks to the way the remote_driver tracks things (in fact, the RPC wire protocol is unable to send a return value for DomainEventRegisterAny, at least not without adding a new RPC number). Well, except for vbox, which was always failing deregistration, due to failure to set the return value to anything besides its initial -1. But for local drivers, such as test:///default, we've been returning non-zero numbers; worse, the non-zero numbers have differed over time. For example, in Fedora 12 (libvirt 0.8.2), calling Register twice would return 0 and 1 [the callbackID generated under the hood]; while in Fedora 20 (libvirt 1.1.3), it returns 1 and 2 [the number of callbacks registered for that event type]. Since we have changed the behavior over time, and since it differs by local vs. remote, we can safely argue that no one could have been reasonably relying on any particular behavior, so we might as well obey the docs, as well as prepare callers that might deal with older clients to not be surprised if the docs are not strictly followed. For consistency, this patch fixes the code for all drivers, even though it only makes an impact for vbox and for local drivers. By fixing all drivers, future copy and paste from a remote driver to a local driver is less likely to reintroduce the bug. Finally, update the testsuite to gain some coverage of the issue for local drivers, including the first test of old-style domain event registration via function pointer instead of event id. * src/libvirt.c (virConnectDomainEventRegister) (virConnectDomainEventDeregister) (virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Clarify docs. * src/libxl/libxl_driver.c (libxlConnectDomainEventRegister) (libxlConnectDomainEventDeregister) (libxlConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Match documentation. * src/lxc/lxc_driver.c (lxcConnectDomainEventRegister) (lxcConnectDomainEventDeregister) (lxcConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * src/test/test_driver.c (testConnectDomainEventRegister) (testConnectDomainEventDeregister) (testConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny) (testConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * src/uml/uml_driver.c (umlConnectDomainEventRegister) (umlConnectDomainEventDeregister) (umlConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxConnectDomainEventRegister) (vboxConnectDomainEventDeregister) (vboxConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * src/xen/xen_driver.c (xenUnifiedConnectDomainEventRegister) (xenUnifiedConnectDomainEventDeregister) (xenUnifiedConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * src/network/bridge_driver.c (networkConnectNetworkEventDeregisterAny): Likewise. * tests/objecteventtest.c (testDomainCreateXMLOld): New test.

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.
