Use of an 'int' to represent a 'bool' value is confusing. Just because dbus made the mistake of cementing their 4-byte wire format of dbus_bool_t into their API doesn't mean we have to repeat the mistake. With a little bit of finesse, we can guarantee that we provide a large-enough value to the DBus code, while still copying only the relevant one-byte bool to the client code, and isolate the rest of our code base from the DBus stupidity. * src/util/virdbus.c (GET_NEXT_VAL): Add parameter. (virDBusMessageIterDecode): Adjust all clients. * src/util/virpolkit.c (virPolkitCheckAuth): Use nicer type. * tests/virdbustest.c (testMessageSimple, testMessageStruct): Test new behavior.

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.
