There was an inherent race between virDomainSnapshotNum() and virDomainSnapshotListNames(), where an additional snapshot could be created in the meantime, or where a snapshot could be deleted before converting the name back to a virDomainSnapshotPtr. It was also an awkward name: the function operates on domains, not domain snapshots. virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames() suffered from the same inherent race, although its naming was nicer. This patch makes things nicer by grabbing a snapshot list atomically, in the format most useful to the user. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virDomainListAllSnapshots) (virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): New declarations. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotListNames) (virDomainSnapshotListChildrenNames): Add cross-references. (virDomainListAllSnapshots, virDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): New functions. * src/libvirt_public.syms (LIBVIRT_0.9.13): Export them. * src/driver.h (virDrvDomainListAllSnapshots) (virDrvDomainSnapshotListAllChildren): New callbacks. * python/generator.py (skip_function): Prepare for later hand-written versions.
libvirt Python Bindings README
==============================
Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml
Manually written files:
- libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
- libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
- libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
- libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
- typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object
Auto-generated files:
- libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
- libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
- libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
the libvirt-override.c method table
