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.

Eric Blake 6e130ddc4d maint: improve VIR_ERR_INVALID_DOMAIN usage
In datatype.c, virGetDomainSnapshot could result in the message:

error: invalid domain pointer in bad domain

Furthermore, while there are a few functions in libvirt.c that
only care about a virDomainPtr without regards to the connection
(such as virDomainGetName), most functions also require a valid
connection.  Yet several functions were blindly dereferencing
the conn member without checking it for validity first (such as
virDomainOpenConsole).  Rather than try and correct all usage
of VIR_IS_DOMAIN vs. VIR_IS_CONNECTED_DOMAIN, it is easier to
just blindly require that a valid domain object always has a
valid connection object (which should be true anyways, since
every domain object holds a reference to its connection, so the
connection will not be closed until all domain objects have
also been closed to release their reference).

After this patch, all places that validate a domain consistently
report:

error: invalid domain pointer in someFunc

* src/datatypes.h (virCheckDomainReturn, virCheckDomainGoto): New
macros.
* src/datatypes.c (virGetDomainSnapshot): Use new macro.
(virLibConnError): Delete unused macro.

         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.
