When a list is freed, we iterate through all the items, invoking the free function for each; the actual free function called for each element is the function of the actual type of each element, and thus the @_next pointer in the element struct has the same type as the element itself. Currently, the free function gets the parent of the current element type, and invoke its free function to continue freeing the list. However, in case the hierarchy of the classes has more than 1 level (i.e. Class <- SubClass <- SubSubClass), the invoked free function is only the parent class' one, and not the actual base class of the hierarchy. To fix that, change the generator to get the base class of a class, and invoking that instead. Also, avoid to set the @_next back, as it is not needed. Fixes commits 5cff36e39ae691fbd7c40597df1732eecf294150 and f76c6dde2e33233566e886d96e76b5fe0c102d9a.

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.
