g_regex_unref reports an error if called with a NULL argument. We have two cases in the code where we (possibly) call it on a NULL argument. The interesting one is in virDomainQemuMonitorEventCleanup. Based on VIR_CONNECT_DOMAIN_QEMU_MONITOR_EVENT_REGISTER_REGEX, we unref data->regex, which has two problems: * On the client side, flags is -1 so the comparison is true even if no regex was used, reproducible by: $ virsh qemu-monitor-event --timeout 1 which results in an ugly error: (process:1289846): GLib-CRITICAL **: 14:58:42.631: g_regex_unref: assertion 'regex != NULL' failed * On the server side, we only create the regex if both the flag and the string are present, so it's possible to trigger this message by: $ virsh qemu-monitor-event --regex --timeout 1 Use a non-NULL comparison instead of the flag to decide whether we need to unref the regex. And add a non-NULL check to the unref in the VirtualBox test too.

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.
