Since 0766783abbe8bbc9ea686c2c3149f4c0ac139e19
Coverity complains that the EDIT_FREE definition results in DEADCODE.
As it turns out with the change to use the EDIT_FREE macro the call to
vir*Free() wouldn't be necessary nor would it happen...
Prior code to above commitid would :
vir*Ptr foo = NULL;
...
foo = vir*GetXMLDesc()
...
vir*Free(foo);
foo = vir*DefineXML()
...
And thus the free was needed. With the change to use EDIT_FREE the
same code changed to:
vir*Ptr foo = NULL;
vir*Ptr foo_edited = NULL;
...
foo = vir*GetXMLDesc()
...
if (foo_edited)
vir*Free(foo_edited);
foo_edited = vir*DefineXML()
...
However, foo_edited could never be set in the code path - even with
all the goto's since the only way for it to be set is if vir*DefineXML()
succeeds in which case the code to allow a retry (and thus all the goto's)
never leaves foo_edited set
All error paths lead to "cleanup:" which causes both foo and foo_edited
to call the respective vir*Free() routines if set.

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.
