virFileMakePath is a recursive function that was creates a buffer PATH_MAX bytes long for each recursion (one recursion for each element in the path). This changes it to have no buffers on the stack, and to allocate just one buffer total, no matter how many elements are in the path. Because the modified algorithm requires a char* to be passed in rather than const char *, it is now 2 functions - a toplevel API function that remains identical in function, and a 2nd helper function called for the recursions, which 1) doesn't allocate anything, and 2) takes a char* arg, so it can modify the contents. * src/util/util.c: rewrite virFileMakePath
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.

Description
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.
