We have several cases where we need to read endian-dependent data regardless of host endianness; rather than open-coding these call sites, it will be nicer to funnel things through a macro. The virendian.h file can be expanded to add writer functions, and/or 16-bit access patterns, if needed. Also, if we need to turn things into a function to avoid multiple evaluations of buf, that can be done later. But for now, a macro worked. * src/util/virendian.h: New file. * src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Ship it. * tests/virendiantest.c: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (test_programs, virendiantest_SOURCES): Run the test. * .gitignore: Ignore built file.
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.
