Commit 0fc89098 used functions only available on glibc, completely botched 32-bit environments, and risked SIGBUS due to unaligned memory access on platforms that aren't as forgiving as x86_64. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Import ffsl. * src/util/bitmap.c (includes): Use <strings.h> for ffsl. (virBitmapNewData, virBitmapToData): Avoid 64-bit assumptions and non-portable functions.
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.
