Previously we've ran into problems when 'testQemuInfoSetArgs' failed as calling the actual test executor could lead to a crash if the data wasn't prepared but reporting an error doesn't play nicely with our test output which is handled by 'virTestRun'. To avoid the issue (and as a side effect improve compilation times of the test files) split up testQemuInfoSetArgs into two functions. The first is still called 'testQemuInfoSetArgs' and just blindly populates arguments into a sub-struct of testQemuInfo. This function no longer reports errors A new function 'testQemuInfoInitArgs' which is meant to be called from the test executor then checks errors and prepares the test data. This one can fail and the test will be marked as failed appropriately. A nice side effect is that this vastly improves compile times of qemuxml2xmltest and qemuxml2argvtest.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
