What code tries to achieve is that if no flags were provided to either 'setmem' or 'setmaxmem' commands then the old (no flags) API is called to be able to communicate with older daemons. Well, the code can be simplified a bit. Note that with this change the old no flag version of APIs is used more often. Previously if --current argument was given it resulted in *Flags() version to be called even though it is not necessary - VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CURRENT is implied. Therefore, this change in fact allows virsh to talk with broader set of daemons. No other user visible changes were made.

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.
