The Python script generates the mappings based on the type descriptions in the esx_vi_generator.input file. This also improves the inheritance handling and allows to get rid of the ugly, inflexible, and error prone _base/_super approach. Now every struct that represents a SOAP type contains a _type member, that allows to recreate C++-like dynamic dispatch for "method" calls in C.
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.
