CLang's optimizer is more aggressive at inlining functions than gcc and so will often inline functions that our tests want to mock-override. This causes the test to fail in bizarre ways. We don't want to disable inlining completely, but we must at least prevent inlining of mocked functions. Fortunately there is a 'noinline' attribute that lets us control this per function. A syntax check rule is added that parses tests/*mock.c to extract the list of functions that are mocked (restricted to names starting with 'vir' prefix). It then checks that src/*.h header file to ensure it has a 'ATTRIBUTE_NOINLINE' annotation. This should prevent use from bit-rotting in future. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
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.
