I've noticed three functions inside node_device_conf.c, namely: - virNodeDeviceCapVPDParseCustomFields() - virNodeDeviceCapVPDParseReadOnlyFields() - virNodeDeviceCapVPDParseXML() that have strange attitude towards g_auto* variables. The first problem is that variables are declared at the top level despite being used inside a loop. The second problem is use of g_free() in combination with g_steal_pointer() even though we have VIR_FREE() which does exactly that. Bringing variable declarations into their respective loops allows us to make the code nicer. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Tim Wiederhake <twiederh@redhat.com>
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.
