Recent changes to events (commit 8a29ffcf) resulted in new compile failures on some targets (such as ARM OMAP5): conf/domain_event.c: In function 'virDomainEventDispatchDefaultFunc': conf/domain_event.c:1198:30: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align] conf/domain_event.c:1314:34: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors The error is due to alignment; the base class is merely aligned to the worst of 'int' and 'void*', while the child class must be aligned to a 'long long'. The solution is to include a 'long long' (and for good measure, a function pointer) in the base class to ensure correct alignment regardless of what a child class may add, but to wrap the inclusion in a union so as to not incur any wasted space. On a typical x86_64 platform, the base class remains 16 bytes; on i686, the base class remains 12 bytes; and on the impacted ARM platform, the base class grows from 12 bytes to 16 bytes due to the increase of alignment from 4 to 8 bytes. Reported by Michele Paolino and others. * src/util/virobject.h (_virObject): Use a union to ensure that subclasses never have stricter alignment than the parent. * src/util/virobject.c (virObjectNew, virObjectUnref) (virObjectRef): Adjust clients. * src/libvirt.c (virConnectRef, virDomainRef, virNetworkRef) (virInterfaceRef, virStoragePoolRef, virStorageVolRef) (virNodeDeviceRef, virSecretRef, virStreamRef, virNWFilterRef) (virDomainSnapshotRef): Likewise. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c (qemuMonitorOpenInternal) (qemuMonitorClose): Likewise.

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.
