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.
